– Hermann Hesse
I have been feeling a little down in the dumps the last few days. I've had a knee injury that has kept me laid up for several days and finances are always a worry. This morning I was having a grand little Pity Party for a Party of One - me.
And then I realized. MY life and MY feelings are completely my responsibility. I can focus on the small things that aren't quite what I want them to be, or I can focus on the big things that are really important and realize the world is right.
My granddaughter has a lot of people who love her, even though I don't get to see her as often as I would like. She has a blessed life and for that I am grateful.
My knee may be painful and keeping me immobile for now, but it will heal - its just a temporary thing.
And what a grand and glorious day! Who could complain on a day like this - 70 degrees, a nice breeze, just a hint of autumn crispness in the air - my favorite time of year!
And my wonderful wonderful husband who searched for me for thirteen years. Life just wouldn't be complete without him. And whatever the future holds, we face it together, side by side. Because as my mother-in-law says "marriage is not about standing face to face and gazing into each other's eyes, its about standing side by side and looking down the same path, together."
