Deep Blue

Deep blue is the main subject of this photo. Yet, one cannot help but notice the tree, 3/4 moon, and vapor trail.  These three items add "texture" in my opinion.  Thinking of life as the "deep blue"... what sort of texture have you added to your "deep blue".  Are you alone, lonely and just an ocean of blue?  Or do you have many branches of "texture" in your world.  Consider how you spend your time in our deep blue: are you like the branches of the tree, and always reaching out?  Stable like the moon, even in its stages of exposure, sometimes full and open, sometimes barely visible. Or are you like that vapor: here one minute, gone the next.  Humans have choices.  Nature's elements do not. Their "world" has already been set.  Take advantage of this gift and make a choice today. Life is for living.

Life changes. Tragedies. Trauma. But, I am still here. Moving forward. The photo in this entry is part of a letter to my family, kind of explaining "who I am" now. Their concern is for my happiness, and I sincerely appreciate that, and their love for me.  In recent years of going through illnesses and deaths of those close to me, I have gained a renewed vision of Life.  I am more accepting of the unknown in life.

What is thrown at me now is simply, "added into" the mix.  I do not "fret" over trivialities. Don't get angry. Don't worry. I am grateful for time spent with family and "old" friends. I am equally accepting of "new" re

Things Get Sideways in My Brain

Sideways View    Do you ever have those times when things just get kinda "cross-eyed" in your head?  It sometimes happens when we least expect it. The day can start out just fine, and before you know it.... everything heads south. Some of the symptoms are:  impatience,  ill temper,  confusion, misunderstandings, or simply "stupid" thoughts. I had one of these kind of days this week.  I won't even acknowledge the day it was... that isn't important.  What's worthy of noting is that most of a day was "lost" to unintelligible thinking.  Now, just to clarify, I had attended the funeral of a man I had known since I was a kid.  He lived a full, Christian life, friend to all he met.  The eulogy was excellent and fitting.  However,  my mind chose to dwell on the "death" part of life, instead of the celebration of life itself.  In the past few years I have been, unfortunately, widowed... twice.   The good fortune of this:  I had found true love
