The state of my union is pretty good. Things are not perfect nor will they ever be. Right now I am truly happy for the ability to be able to take some of life's challenges day by day and sometimes minute by minute. I am happy that I have a wonderful and loving spouse who is supportive. I am happy for being able to discern (for the most part) what things in my life I have control over and which things I do not... I am happy that in the afternoons I can spell the honeysuckle trees in my driveway as fragrant as ever. I am greatly appreciative that I can take in the sights and sounds of the birds that hang around our home. Birds are truly fascinating creatures. But I am most relieved that I can now live in the moment, not the past or the future.
Life posses new challenges daily. So do the complicated inter-workings of being human and interacting with other humans. Life is always a little sweeter when you can stop and smell the flowers and appreciate the sweet sounds and sights of nature around us.
