A Good Morning

Sometimes we take life for granted but at our age we just don’t take life for granted.  It really is a good morning when we both wake up and we know everything is okay.  So, this morning really is a good morning!  After my two brushes with death, I know my wife doesn’t take me for granted.  Nor do I take her for granted either.  She makes sure I’m fed and I make sure she’s okay and do things for her she is not able to do.  

In this regard we consider ourselves a team.  But I’ve learned not to take anything for granted.  I feel that way about all my relationships in life.  It seems I take nothing or anyone for granted.  We just never know.  But the old adage about no news being good news is much better than hearing only bad news.  

One of the things I never take for granted are my Spirit Guides.  I never take them for granted.  They have given me life and always made sure I am alive.  My task as I have said is to simply live and live simply never taking anything for granted.  My wife says I am far from a grumpy old man but knows I don’t like my privacy disturbed but she knows sometimes I have to be interrupted.

But it’s okay if she does disturb my privacy.  I have learned to just live with it.  Patience has taught me to learn to live with many things I might not want to do in life, but that is life.  Things must be done.  So, I enjoy my privacy while I can.  Some might think that all I do is sit and smoke my pipe.  I read and write while smoking my pipe and when I’m not doing that I might watch some videos on YouTube or sit quietly and meditate.

At least I have joined a gym and try to go at least a few times a week.  There is grocery shopping that must be done and since my wife quit driving a few years back she relies on me to take her where she needs to go.  I am her designated driver.  And while I’d rather be home than being out, I know she has things she needs to do and can’t do those things without me.

Neither of us want to be without the other, so in that regard we don’t take each other for granted.  After we get a car for Christmas, I’ll have more freedom to maybe sit and smoke my pipe other places.  It was an experiment to sell our car, but it was more car than we needed.  We’ll have a smaller car, but all we need is basic transportation that can haul some stuff.  So, it will be nice to have a car again.  But this morning I can just relax and smoke my pipe not taking that for granted either.  Today it is my Gettysburg pipe with Golden Days of Yore and my coffee this morning is Blue Bottle.  Thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.
