[QUOTE="TheWalrus, post: 683985, member: 19905"] I spent today cleaning my deck and sitting outside, reading. I love my home and my yard, and my bliss is when the sun is out and I can be outside. I just kept looking around, thinking how blessed I am, how many good things I have in my life. I hate that my child doesn't have this kind of life, but I have to accept that is because she doesn't want it and doesn't pursue it. She pursues things I can't understand. But I can't let her choices rob me of my joy. And I have so many things to be thankful for. I am going for a walk with a good friend this evening. Another of my joys. And she knows the whole story, has watched it play out over the years. She is the first to call and check on me, support my decisions, and remind me that I can't change things that aren't in my control. It probably was wrong to miss the day - I missed so many because of her accident and then getting worn down to the point I got sick several times this winter - but I am glad I did. My house is where I always feel the most peaceful and happy, and I needed to remind myself of all the blessings I have so that I can stop focusing on the shadows. [/QUOTE]
