It's a Wonderful Life

I've had a tough day and now I'm pondering about all the good things going on in my life. I feel so blessed to live in an area relatively free from the effects of war, I have the food I need and love to eat, I have shelter that is more than adequate for my needs, I have transportation and the means to put fuel in the gas tank (!), lots of wonderful friends as well as the best family in the world! Really, thinking about these things puts stupid concerns in perspective. Today I got so irritated after paying a bill online for the very first time, then thinking I did it wrong and all the angst that goes with that, then I just decided that I don't need to pay bills online and I don't really need to worry about a paperless world when I realized that I was still printing out the invoice to file away as proof that I paid the silly bill online! Go figure. I think perhaps I have finally reached the time in my life when I decided that at my age going green should cut me some slack! So I'm leaving the paperless world behind since I've discovered that I actually have as much junk laying around to file away so I can find it in the future. I know that this doesn't really make sense to the 30 somethings, but oh, well, it's a wonderful life anyway and we don't all have to be the same anyway. I love this modern age, though. I love getting email photos and cell phone photos, lots of phone calls and emails that tell me my family and friends are ok. I can't imagine living 1400+ miles away from my family and only getting a letter once a month! Yikes.
Re: my toe - the new soft cast is heavier than the previous bandage and it has ached a little today. Part of the healing process as well. I'll have to do my blog earlier in the day, I think, cause I'm too tired this time of day to think positive thoughts! The fun things to do in the future include my nephew coming for a visit this weekend (he's actually visiting his parents in their RV, but sleeping in our guest room). Then next month my daughter and the worlds perfect grandkids are coming and my sister is coming, too! So we'll be the vacation spot for awhile. Fun times!
