Oh, Gail, that is funny and oh so true. I love your sense of humor. It will be waiting patiently for you, whenever you are ready. Some experiences are much harder than others and take patience on our part! 💟
I am in the middle of my contrast. I understand about that which you have written. Being suck did not slow down your sharp mind coming up with things of value to share. My lingering question is why I did we not buy stock in Kleenex?
Richard Bach grew up less than a mile from where I lived from 8-18. Love that guy. My dad knew his dad and introduced me to his dad at the house where he grew up. Shucks, never got to meet him. I love how you wrote this one. Yes, the contrast. The challenge with its accompanying gift. Love the list of things you are doing. Really glad you are feeling better!
Interesting! Richard also lived on the small island of Friday Harbor where my parents lived for about five years after my dad retired. He used to fly his little plane out of there. I remember flying through the fog from Seattle to my parents in a little Cessna, a little bit scared not being able to see five feet in front of the plane. Richard also had a serious plane crash up there. And thanks, I'm very happy to be feeling better! 💟
I've been to Friday Harbor. Enchanting. I read about Richard's life up there. I remember flying in a storm in a little plane from Prescott into Phoenix in Arizona in 1992. Terrifying. A challenge and there was a gift with that also... for another time!
Thank you for this sweet post illustrating a truth...we don’t fully appreciate the good in our lives, such as being able to savor a good meal or go for a walk on a sunny morning until we can’t keep any food down or even get out of bed at all. Wonderfully well written and paced!
Sue, another great little story. You talk of contrast; I have always said the 'yin and yang' in one's life. It took me until my late forties to really understand why sometimes you had to go through hell to appreciate even the smallest of things. To sit down and let the good things come to you, big or small. Now when I find myself on the darks side of yin and yang, I know eventually I will be able to appreciate what is in front of me. Or maybe even simpler, I have grown wiser with age and don't sweat the small stuff.
oh, no, your message was clear! No worries! I just texted a friend with the phrase "okey dokey." My phone auto corrected to "okey donkey." I'm still laughing.
Right, and sometime it takes awhile before one is ready to open that gift. Mine is still in the closet...

Haha, oh my gosh, I hear you. Piles and piles of kleenex :) Get well soon!

Thank you, Chinmayan! I always appreciate your comments! 💟

Thanks, Jennifer! Here's to not sweating the small stuff. 💟
I loved that movie too. I am so glad you are feeling better.
Thanks, me too! 💟
That is supposed being sick did not slow down your sharp mind... should I delete the comment and post it again with that correction?
