As I sit here

In the clean front porch, looking out through the clean windows, enjoying the dust free atmosphere (yup, I cleaned and I want the whole world to know it!) I am greatful!  The brilliant blue sky surrounds us.  The woman I love sits next to me.  Our remaining puppy snores contentedly.  We wait to go play bridge with the young old people.  Having just returned from our second funeral in too short of a span, I realize that all these things are gifts that can be taken away.  And I solemnly swear I shall enjoy them while I can.  May you do the same in the knowledge that you do them as loved individuals
