To My Door

I haven’t got any words of wisdom today…
Just breathing thankfulness for my front door.

I was ambushed yesterday by joy,
just by coming home, and feeling so happy to have a home.
Walking up the stairs, and reaching for the door.
My door!
The door to where I belong!

Sorry – I know I’m rambling.
I’m just taking stock of the good in my world, and remembering to be grateful.
It’s been a good year so far…
What will the rest of it bring to my door?

Travelling Light

I’ve been out and about a couple of times in the last week or so. In the past, I’ve wandered around the place, enjoying my time, but not seeing anyone I know. These times, I ran into four lots of people, and had a good old catch up (yay!) 😀
I’ve just started on a new, stronger, pain killer. After a day out, I tend to need to stay in bed to recover. I had hoped to be OK this time, but apparently the painkiller takes a few days to kick in properly.
I think I am basically an optimist. I can see beauty, and hope, in all sorts of things. Some (probably most) days I can see the days ahead, and future endeavours waiting for me. I can luxuriate in “not pain” for periods of time (when you have “definitely not not pain” 🙂 you are very aware when it goes away for a bit).
Yesterday was mostly luxurious. Today was not.
Still – life is a wonderful, curious, slightly ridiculous journey.

But…
Some days are sombre, just get through, deal with the now type of days.
Still flashes of beauty. Leaps of joy.
But also a closer understanding of mortality.
Life is good. And sometimes difficult…
Still, the light shines through.

…it’s all about balance! 😆
