Grateful for what is

It was like magic!
When we first moved to our little villa here in Florida, my first big amazement was that the drawers in the kitchen and bathroom didn't just pull out...they were on sliders and they were not just effortless...but they just slid!
Then we bought a bedroom suite, including two night stands, a chest of drawers and a triple dresser....and the beauty was all the wonderful sliding drawers.
To this day, I still find it so fantastic.
In New Kensington, Pa., we had drawers that just pulled in and out but had no gliders......I suppose I should say the next joy was owning a dishwasher. Didn't have one before. Nor did we have a garbage disposal. And to do laundry I had to drag the laundry basket up and down the basement stairs.
Here I just move my body a few steps and my beautiful washer and dryer are waiting for me.
And the first thing in the morning the sunlight would beam in and radiate the living room through the cathedral windows...and it was like a million volt bult lighting our house.
We felt like we were living in a little mansion. This is not to say we didn't have a lovely 'other house', but this is kinda more convenient.
I love my little postage stamp of a house. It's really too big for just me. When I waken, I can't seem to remember that I live here all alone.
You would think time would change this but time is like a kaleidoscope always changing ...and abstracions are a place tetween reality and actuality... for a few seconds I need to remember where everyone is. They're not living here...Just me...
I still feel very fortunate and know that I have a good life!
