Thought For the Day

Keeping Up With Life

Life goes by at a dizzying speed.  You don't think that when you are trapped at a desk behind a computer or some other such thing.  However, how often to you wake up and think 'wow, were did this month go?'

I looked at the calendar today and realized it had been a little over two months since Dad past away. Where did those moths go?  Two months of not so great sleep and odd dreams.  Two months of sitting in MY chair puttering on lace and ignoring housework.  two moths of not feeling "up" to much.  No wonder I have been grumpy.  Okay, the extreme cold weather and some run-ins with people contributed.

But things are thawing out now.  Both in the weather and in my soul.  I went out and worked in the garden Sunday; pruned my roses, raked out some flower beds, and thought up some outside projects.

It was good to get out.  (and not have to deal with people)

I want to shake of this winter coat of mental lethargy and get out into nature.  My poor husband is going to find my poking and prodding him into the wilderness this summer.  I'm tiered of not living.  I want to keep up with life by living it.  By loving it.  Life is too short.   Would that we could live a thousand years and see the world for what it is; beautiful.
