Oh my ..

-sigh-

Time flies whether you are having fun or not. I looked at this blog for the first time in -blush- a long time. I thought - hm - been a few months. Imagine my chagrin when I realized it won't be too long before two years had passed.

That may be a good thing. Maybe I'm just too busy and fulfilled to bother with TELLING you about it. Or .. not.

At any rate, life goes on. In so many ways, we can't expect more. I'm finally beginning to figure out that my life is normal - or average, perhaps. We go on thinking that OUR lives are full of crap, while everyone else gets the good stuff.

It ain't true, magoo.

The only reason the next door neighbor's life looks better than mine is that I can't see the pile of bills on the counter, the prosthetic leg on the daughter, the liver transplant in the son. "Where you stand depends on where you sit" has become SO apt, I realize.

Maybe this next year is a good time to start thinking more broadly - to start thinking less about my petty problems and dwelling on what is GOOD in life. The sky is still blue, the sun is a warm yellow, and my spousal unit seems to care that I exist in life.

Shall we call it good at that?

At least until next time. -grin-
