As I grow older I'm more aware that the simple things in life are so important. Whether it's watching a sunset, going for a ride or spending time with the people you care about all are activities that can be enjoyable and warm one's heart. For me getting away from my house and having freedom from my everyday life means so much. At one time my home was a happy place and a place I could relax in, but not any longer. I want to get back that feeling of a peaceful refuge. Perhaps it's the people in this house, Louie with his disability and always having to have care and Becky with her unstable personality.
I love morning when no one else is awake and I am alone. To sit, have a cup of coffee and let my mind wander is pure heaven. As I sit here writing I ponder where life has taken me and where I will journey next. Yesterday was a simple day of taking a ride, having lunch and talking to a friend, but it was totally enjoyable and very calming. Today is just beginning and I'm hoping for another tranquil day...perhaps that's too much to wish for, but we'll see.
Last year around Christmas I decided to be happy and I've achieved more happiness than I had. This year I plan on reaching for the stars for even more happiness, but doing so simply. My plans are contacting friends more often and changing the mood in this house. Today's plan is to add more music and think happy thoughts. Simple but effective. Time to go wish upon a star.
