A million things I could share today...but it is a twist between reality and life or keeping your chin up and smile.
Myself, I often go blog surfing to get away from reality. A tiny break in the day where I can be totally taken away with beautiful photos and funny stories. Dream homes being built and lovely food temptations. Blog surfing is my magazine getaway. Safe colorful escapes.
But I often return when I know there are struggles. A check in to make sure things are ok. And a reality break that for me things aren't so bad. I was recently directed here. And must say I check back often for a report on a young man whose life has changed forever all in the name of Freedom.
Yesterday was a subtle reminder of life. How strange it can be, how blessing may come for some while pain comes for others. How new endeavours for some mean a quiet ending for others. How no matter how hard you try to make it right sometimes it just stays wrong.
And with all of that comes today. And a robin standing on a subtle white skiff of snow (blessings that it was not 6 inches), a father sitting here as I type with his daily interruptions ( we are currently talking about birds as I type, now the laundry and his grocery list for tonight). Today he makes me smile, as much as his interruptions can drive me crazy. A small reprieve that it's Friday and a daughter whose heart is "about to explode with joy" (her words not mine) because it is almost Big Sky State Games. And her "JOY" turning into list of things that, " did you get done mom?" And again a father talking about taking care of his sweater (part of my favorite costume for dance)
.....and remembering the big games, and how he had to talk in front all these people, and wondering how his high school friends are......
and that is how you go... On.... counting blessings, with a smile, as life slowly returns to what is normal.
