Staring out my window as I so often do, I see the exact, same landscape I have looked at for thirty-plus years  and yet, I am in a trance, as if I am witnessing it all for the very first time.

I hear those cheery birds with their melodious tunes, bursting with the very joy of being

& Yay !! those glorious Summer scents that greet me as I open my door ?!? ooooooh !! they just fill my heart with happy !!

The sunrise. The clouds. The Wow.

WoW

& I think, thankful. I am so darn thankful.

For a lawn that desperately needs cutting, for a picnic table that has seen better days, for a big, bald tree who holds my every secret.

For a beat up, yellow lawn chair and a very dependable beer fridge. For the porch I call ‘veranda’ and a fire pit embedded with stories, laughter and memories.

For the lightening bug laser show of last night and the coffee conversation this morning.

It’s the simple things that jump out with their notice me !! notice meeeeeee !! and the perfect feeling of grateful.

ahhhhh Life.

Life !!

You have handed me a cornucopia, you have !! A zig here, a zag there, plenty of wonderful !! mixed with a pile of not so much and I don’t want to-s !!  a sidetrack, a wander and presto ! Here I am in another today

& it’s taken me awhile but, I get it, I sooooo get it now.

It took every bit of THAT to get me to THIS

& for the every little bit of THIS ?

I appreciate. Oh, how I appreciate.
