I came across this discussion http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2745558.aspx a little while ago, and it got me to thinking. Here are my thoughts... I believe that MyLot is a great place to share very honest feelings re: their take on life at a given moment, and I wouldn't want to discourage people from venting if they need to vent. We need to talk about our troubles instead of simply sucking them up and stuffing them down. However, it's always wonderful to read positive things here as well, so I would like to share a slice of my life with you now... It's getting towards five-thirty in the late afternoon/early evening now, but something really wonderful happened at five today. It has been rather overcast for the past few days with, perhaps, a glimpse of the sun for just a little bit. So, it was a welcome sight when my home office was suddenly illuminated by the wonderful glow of late-in-the-day sunlight. These days, my home office is no longer located in the room I'd fixed up to be my home office but is, instead, in one part of my combo living room and bedroom. All of this consolidating everything together has had quite a bit to do with mobility issues--and I'm not going to waste time going into all of that right now, as I need to stay on the subject before I lose you as a reader. Anyway, there was suddenly a soft, warm, and golden glow all around me that was reflected on my walls, furniture, and my very person. Looking to the east, I was able to see the happenings outside of the windows behind my kitchen sink, and it showed the little woods out back to have taken on the golden glow of the visiting sun. The sky was a gentle and glowing blue through, behind, and above the trees. Beside me and sitting on the seat of my walker, my space heater was continuing--as it is now--to sound and feel like a summer breeze. My TV has been without any video for several months--and will continue to be until I can afford to either get it fixed or else get a new TV. At least, it has its audio, so I just pretend that I'm somebody living back in the 1930s listening to drama and comedy on the radio. It's quietly playing in the sleeping area of my living room with the current program being a re-run of The Brady Bunch. It's now almost a quarter of six, and the afterglow is now just a memory. It's starting to get dark but the outdoors still contains some natural light. I have on a few softly-glowing lights here and there, and looking at them is comforting. My life is a soft and peaceful one with a gentle glow about it. I'm not trouble-free, but I still have so many blessings to count, and I'm optimistic that things are going to get even better. In a little over an hour, I'm going to be calling my mom (who is now in a nursing home) for our evening chat. It's one of the highlights of my day, and she feels the same way--this in spite of the fact that both of us have other interests going on. Thank you for sharing with me a slice of my challenging-but-beautiful life!!!
