Well, here we are already three days into February 2009. Yesterday was my exhusbands 60th birthday. Happy Birthday Bill. I have known Bill for 40 years and he has never been to the doctor. I pray he continues to have a full and heathly life.
Our health is certainly one thing to be happy about. I was listening to the radio last night as I lay waiting to fall asleep. There was a woman making some very important comments on being thankful.....things I could really relate to. For one, while I have a mountain of repairs to do around my house and my yard is looking more like the jungle, I can be thankful I have a home. There are many folks just like me who are unexpectedly homeless. My car the electric window on the drivers side is not working properly and my blinkers seem to be on the "blink", but I do have a car to drive.
And I am sad to say that sometimes I feel very alone, my kids are grown and gone, I find myself divorced, my best friend of 20 years has passed away.....but then I have to remember that while my pool of friends may be small, they are true treasures. My friend Shelley has been coming to the house for over two years now helping me patch drywall and paint and whatever while we spend endless hours baring our souls to one another. My sister Sunny (former sister in law that we adopted) brings sunshine to my should every time she crosses my threshold. My mother and my daughter Mariana are my rocks, they have bolder me up more times that I can count.....So next time we start feeling sorry for ourselves, let try to remember just what treasures we have hear on earth. And don't forget who provides it all for us.....thanks, thanks for everything.
