In these days of “shoulda”, “coulda”, “woulda”, and “maybe”,
and “what if”, I have been doing some re-evaluating of my “life”…we aren’t
talking about the big LIFE, but about daily living. An example of my new
thoughts: I have lived my entire life in California, as a matter of fact, I am
a native Californian. Yet, in all of my years, I have never gone to see the
poppies in bloom. It was always, “too far”, or “maybe later”, and after Dave’s
passing, I realized that we had never shared so many things because we didn’t
get our rear ends off the couch. I am trying to do better. Today, I went to see
the poppies. It was a little over an hour away, a bit of an uphill hike, and by
taking it slowly, I got it done. It was a lovely experience. The day was rainy
and overcast, so the poppies were not in their full open glory, yet, even so,
the beauty was unmistakable. I am going to try to do more “stuff”, because, as
we all know, we have no idea what tomorrow will bring……..or not bring.
