Some days its harder to be happy. There are a lot of people in glass houses in this community right now, throwing stones. I know how short life can be, and how one instant, one decision, one choice can completely alter the course of your life. I've also learned that its best sometimes to let people vent and keep quiet. They don't really want to hear. But its not easy to keep it inside nonetheless.....
*It seems trite, but I'm thankful for water and lemon. With ice. The cold refreshing taste as it goes down. Silly, I know. But it beats pop :)
*I'm thankful that mom took the time while I was growing up to show me the way around the kitchen. I'm thankful that I ma slowly gaining confidence in myself to experiment and throw stuff together. And I'm motivated to find the time. Southwestern stuffed spaghetti squash. From my head onto my plate. Need I say more ;)
*I'm thankful for the little bit of time between when Gavin goes to bed and I turn on for the night. The house - today anyway - is clean. And I have a moment to catch my breath, spend a few moments with my thought, and pull out my colouring for a while. I need to work more me time into my schedule. I know its good for me. I just need to figure out how......
*Many years ago, I befriended a woman and taught her how to use the computer. She had never turned one on before sitting with me. I still remember her looking at the mouse and asking me what that gadget was for. Today, she not only sent me an email with a photo attachment, but the attachment was sent from her iPhone. Just knowing she has gone from where she was to where she is makes me smile every time I think about it.....
