That’s exactly how I feel today. I haven’t been at my best physically the past two or three days, but TODAY? Ohhh, boy!!!
I am filled with excitement and anticipation about tomorrow! Even though I have a 12 hour drive ahead, I can’t wait to pull up under my momma’s table and look at my dad in his face. He’s been so sick lately that I am just glad that he is here, so even if I were still not well, I’d be finding my way to that table because at least this year, he’s here. I already miss the man he used to be as his illness has changed him so rapidly. He’s dangerously underweight and quite feeble, but he refuses to stop living. He is my inspiration as much as try to make him sit down somewhere.
My mom is my hero because without her I wouldn’t be able to live as I’m living now. She completely supervises my father’s care and insists that I keep my job and do as much as I can do professionally to see just how far I can make it. She wants the best for me, and me coming home to take care of my dad is out of the question as far as she’s concerned. She’s holding it down. I am grateful for the two of them.
We may have plans, but God always has one better. I could not be more blessed than to have been chosen by and placed with the absolute best family for me. Today of all days my life feels like a fairy tale. I have my health, I have my family; therefore, I have extreme wealth. I have love.

God asked for your opinion on how to run the universe?
someone bestowed upon you a random act of kindness?
the sun woke you up through the shades in your window?
the stars danced with you?
blood ran warm in your veins?
dark turned to day at your command?
you told someone you love them?
you gave a helping hand?
you rolled in the grassed?
you laughed like a child?
you danced in the rain?
you hugged a friend?
you gave a second chance?
you used your power to forgive?
you held the hand of a child?
you thanked an elder?
you rejoiced in the simple things?
you sang a song out of tune?
you aimed for a goal near the moon?
you drank hot cocoa from a mug?
you fell in love?
Are you overdue for an extreme reality makeover?
*These are the random, yet original, musings of a grateful soul.*
I just ran across a headline that said that beta-carotene (bc) could help protect the brain against aging. Why are people treating aging like a disease instead of a natural part of life? Do they really think that there’s a chance that by manipulatives and sheer will alone they can beat death? Whatever happened to “face your fears”? Maybe it’s just me, but our nip-tuck, supplement, herb me a new life culture is what’s actually sick. Am I anti-health? Absolutely not. Am I anti-ocd about aging? Absolutely yes. And if I didn’t have so much work to do, I’d go on some more. In fact, if I get some time (ha!), I will come back and go on some more.
Peace.
