Kindness matters.
People care.
A phone call to a good friend makes everything better.
A text from someone checking on you means they care.
Coffee really is good for you. Seriously. Just ask me.
The smell of Ellie's hair is a wonderful thing.
Holding Bill's hand often cures everything.
Being in my kitchen is like a sanctuary.
Ending a good book is like a painful goodbye.
Knitting is my meditation.
Color makes me smile.
The rain really does stop. Eventually.
Karma is an amazing force.
The sun always rises. Even after the darkest night.
Finding a treasure looks different to everyone.
Today I found a treasure. It came in the form of a website with wonderful words and pictures. Its written by a woman just a year older than me. Just that much closer to fifty. Which is what led me to her.
She's broken and somehow fixed with crazy glue, good coffee and her amazing three kids. She reminded me that kindness matter, love is eternal and as challenging as some days are - be grateful that you recognize the difference.
She lives in Vermont, which makes me envy her surroundings. Even the cold that she is dreadfully tired of this time of year. I still remember a first breath of cold air on a winter morning. Texas doesn't provide that reality. Just storms, heat and the occasional ice storm.
This is my reality. And today I recognize that I love it. All of it. And when today is done, tomorrow will being a new chance and a new challenge. Both are mine to accept.
