Not that long ago, it would have been bad. But now things are much better. I've made changes to make my life better. Some would not like my life because I live in the country. Things are quiet. Some would call it boring, but I find it peaceful. Not many neighbors in a town of less than 200. But there are lots of squirrels, birds, deer, quail, pheasants, and other animals, like raccoons, foxes and skunks. I adore the lightning bugs! I love the rain, especially the cleansing storms with rolling thunder!
After feeling imprisoned for so long (over 15 years!), unable to leave home… life, the sunrise and sunset, rain, the wild animals all appear different! Wondrous! Oh! Every precious breath, every wave from kind townsfolk, every caring word resonates a gentle beauty that touches the soul like sparkling water on bruised, parched lips that's emerged from a hostile desert! The blend of colors! The smells! The way the sun sparkles on the damp leaves and grass after it rains! Landscapes that once seemed boring even holds striking beauty! I see the smallest things that many don't even seem to notice.
Have you ever fasted for a period of time? Did you notice how much better the food tastes afterwards, how much more you appreciated and enjoyed it? Well, that's my life! Not everyday, for I still suffer grief and sadness from way too much loss, though I am healing. But there are times even in my gloom when something reaches through to reveal such splendor… and in that moment, my sorrow and my heart are lifted and I am filled to the brim with profound wonder!
Walk in my shoes and you will know intense suffering, deep sorrows, and bleak darkness… Ah, but you will also learn the deepest meaning of Miraculous!

The good: I wear comfortable shoes. My family is fun and warm and they love me and each other, The dog is sweet. My DH is handsome and supportive. My garden is new and pretty and I no longer go to the office so the day is mine to spend as I wish.
The bad: money is always an issue, but God provides!

You'd be living in one of the most beautiful places on Earth. You could go swimming in the pool every day. You could go boating on the bay or in the ocean. You could have stimulating conversation. You would meet some beautiful, intelligent people. You would volunteer in a nursing facility for a few hours and help people who couldn't help themselves.

Oh expensive! it is a few Monday that, he shoulda stayed in mattress! easily thinking approximately it him and his mattress could've possibly have been in a roundabout way catapulted out of the window and it may've landed on that team of Hell's Angels that merely befell to be passing on the time!
