And then, I wondered if I'd made a fatal error: voicing my contentment thus tempting the Fates. Let me be clear. I am not asking for trials. I am not begging for difficulties. I just try to find the best in life and hope I am up to the inevitable challenges.
That said, my heart still has longings, things I wish for and things I wish were different. I imagine I'm not so different from others in that regard. I guess I'm in sort of a contemplative mood. Must be the weather. (Makes me long for an overactive metabolism so I can indulge my longing for brownies or something chocolate.) A good reminder to think once again how full of gratitude my heart is.
Used to be trees, now they look like stumps. Hmmm... |
Met with our tax preparer/friend. Came away a bit dismayed. Our expected return was whittled away after he dug into the paperwork and finalized our return. We had thought to spend the unexpected money on a trip to the beach. I could see my beach trip sprouting wings and disappearing into the ether. And here I am, whining about my blessings again. Whining about having enough money in the first place. Will I ever learn?
We still hear the beach calling. Perhaps.
