So Many Lives

I was reading the blog postings today and found so many sad and unhappy people. So many complained that they could not find a connection on this site. Some told stories about relationships gone bad. So, I decided to add my own story to the mix.

Last Sept 13 I got up early, the hummingbirds were flying around me and my deck. My husband of 33 years joined me. We sat and drank our coffee and he had a funny type of event. His eyes rolled back into his head and his arms went limp. This lasted for a couple of seconds. I asked him what happened, and he said he felt a little dizzy and said he had gotten up too early. This was his day off from work and I insisted that he put aside anything he felt he had to do and relax, do whatever made him happpy, Around 3:00 pm he came to me and asked "Hey old woman, what is for dinner?" I told him, anything you want. So, around 7:00 pm he came upstairs from his man cave for dinner. He had amazing little boy eyes, and he asked "Can I eat in front of the TV, there's a baseball game." Of course, so I made him a tray and he kissed me on the cheek saying "You are the best." These were the last words he spoke to me. He died about an hour later. I found him, he was in his favorite chair. He had eaten and he was smiling.

Yes, I miss him. But, I am going on. I know that life is worth living and there are many things to smile about. I do not think I will find my soul mate on this or any other web sit. It is what it is. Scams, dead beats, self asborbed people...well they exist everywhere not just here.

Stop being the "Poor Poor Me" and start looking around yourself. If you go to the store, your soul mate may be the person picking out produce. You will never know if you are so consumed about the hard knocks that life has given you to see the treasures walking in and through your life.

Smile. It costs nothing. But, it gives you rewards. Brighten someone else's day with a thank you, a smile, a helping hand and by the end of the day, well you will feel lighter and brighter.
