What I Will Miss...

I wrote this list several years ago, when my health was very bad. I wanted to remind myself to appreciate each day. To embrace and cherish all the little things. To think about the things I would miss. These were a few which came to mind that day.

The sound of laughter

The way my husband looks at me, with love

The smiles of my sons... the way their eyes light up

Music

Rain, the sound, the smell

Lilacs

Hugs

Tears

Kisses

The call of the mourning dove

Seeing an eagle in flight

Clouds

The feel of grass between my toes

Coffee

Chocolate

Dreams

Live each moment. Cherish life. Love yourself and one another. Treasure the small things.

More Waiting...

Needed to visit the urgent care today, which ended up being a two hour wait for a 10 minute consult. Sinus infection and swollen lymph nodes, which required a prescription. Pharmacy short staffed due to illness resulting in more waiting. 

I got home in time to meet the Cable One technician who installed my new high speed internet and modem! So exciting! For about 15 minutes after he left, which is when the modem began to fail. Son worked on it for a while, finally phoned. After about 40 minutes on the line, mostly holding, he was told a tech might be able to come back out by 9 PM, but if one didn't show up, we are to call again tomorrow. You guessed it, we'll be phoning again tomorrow. All this waiting would normally drive me crazy, but I'm feeling relatively calm. Could be the cold meds though. Lol! Oh well, tomorrow is another day!

Yard Sale, Photos, Internet

Life has been busy. The yard sale went well, but I still have a garage filled with small "treasures" needing new homes. Might be time to start up the eBay sales again. There will definitely be some large donations to the local thrift stores!

Received a call about more family photos at the Antique store, but I haven't gone yet. Spent too much money already, and if I don't see them I won't miss them... right? She's agreed to hold them for a week, so we shall see...

Getting high speed internet installed tomorrow. Maybe I'll actually be here more often. I get so weary of waiting, waiting, waiting for a page to load. Feels like the old-time dial-up days. I can still hear that tone in my head. Well, this was short, but I'll be back after the upgrade!
