Life as I know it…
I can’t read without glasses…I can’t fit into my wedding dress…I can’t jump out of a 2-story house anymore…I can’t walk on my hands for several seconds…I can’t wrap my arms around my Mom and Day and tell them that I love them…I can’t sleep all night without needing to go to the bathroom.

Thankful that I am able to continue to read, write, and so many other things when I wear glasses…Forever thankful that the Lord loved enough to place in my life the man he had prepared for me and that I would need my beautiful wedding dress…Grateful for my childhood and the excitement of so many little things such as...jumping out of our 2-story house…I’m thankful that as a child I loved to play outdoors and try new things even if I ended up getting hurt sometimes…Thankful for the loving parents that God gave me and for the time He allowed them to be on this earth with me…Thankful I wake up in the middle of the night so I don’t end up wetting the bed!

I'm right there with you on most of these. Although my father died, and later my step-father, I am blessed to still have my mother. Those daredevil acts of "bravery" from childhood days are definitely in the past, but they sure were fun!
ReplyDeleteI, too, am there with you. We all need to look back and be thankful for what we had...and look at the present and be thankful for what we have. I love your positive blog post. So often we can boo hoo the aches and pains of getting along in our years...but oh how lucky we are to have made it to where we are! Thanks for the smile you brought to me this day.

ReplyDeleteLove the structure of this piece and the ending cracked me up! I am pregnant so when you said "I can’t sleep all night without needing to go to the bathroom" I was shaking my head. Then the ending made me appreciate the getting up all night!
