December 2020
Seems it snuck up fast, although the year seemed a century long to some.
In this season of my life any day is too short. The more that fly by, the fewer I have left.
Maybe thats why 2020 hadn’t affected me like some. Its another year I have in this world.
There have been some times that have been inconvenient but then I had days like that in 1982, 1983, 2006….
There will always be times that aren’t easy.
Welcome to life.
I learn from every challenge.
I also get stronger.
I will continue to be a student, learning from history, planning my future, and living my best life today.
No one or no thing will ever steal my joy.
I will share what wisdom I accumulate along the way, to help those that stumble over the same barriers as I.
I will collect the rocks thrown at me and build my castle even stronger.
I will stand firm in my beliefs, use them as a guide and never comply with what is popular at the time if it is not what I practice.
I will remain true to me.
I will love big and laugh loud.
When it is my time to take my final breath, I will do so knowing I made a difference. My life’s best memories will play like a double feature with hot buttered popcorn.
No thoughts of 2020 or any other year people deemed terrible.
No thoughts of the struggles or sacrifices.
Just the beauty I was blessed to see.
My children.
My grandchildren.
Life partner.
Fur babies.
Family.
Friends.
Each and everything and everyone that made me smile and feel love and comfort.
During my quiet coffee time, I do just that.
Remind myself what a wonderful life I truly have.
Not a Hallmark Christmas story, but damn close.
Happy December my friends.
Love big
Lorene
