Whoopee-do! Woke up several hours ago to find another day staring me in the face. I don't know for sure how long it had been doing that but I wasn't at all unhappy about it. Actually we may have saved a little money because I didn't need to turn any lights on as I went to procure the first cup of coffee for Dory and myself.

There was a time that I might have been a little aggravated about sleeping past the regular getup time but those days are long gone. Now I'm able to see some blessings that have always been there but I guess were taken for granted. It is a great blessing to be given another day no matter what time it starts. How can so many of us not realize the greatness of retaining enough mobility to rise and face the new day with only a few pains and aches to groan past. Even if the mobility isn't, there is enough joy to find in the mind to still be classified as one of the truly great and wonderful blessings that none of us could live without.

If a person took the time to really think only about all the blessings received they wouldn't be able to do it in their lifetime. And I'm not going to say if that was all a person ever thought of he probably wouldn't live long anyway. The multi-million thoughts that one has everyday, some are what puts food in their mouths and possible happiness in their minds... This note could go on and on too but it won't because some new thoughts have made themselves known and the possibility of something more exciting than this can't be very hard to happen.



Q: As people age, do they sleep more soundly? A: Yes, but usually in the afternoon.
