Little Things

It is often the little things that we often take for granted.I went about 2 years without a comfortable chair,or the feather pillow I had depended upon and of course good food;however,it was the people in my life that I missed the most.The laughter.The hugs.Seeing little legs run.Talking several times a week to my kids . Having a cup of coffee with my wife .Using a computer. Hearing my favorite word now - Papa.In a strange way I was given a unique insight-a chance to take an inventory of my life .To put away those things that really had little value and to finally focus on the only thing that truly lasts LOVE. As I get older time seems to speed up. I realize my blue jeans went out of style 20 years ago and yes they are a little baggy-never understood why a guy would want a tight fit. I think everything is too high except stuff at Lowes or Home Depot.What a crisis we would face if Walmart weren't here. In another 10 years I may learn how to use my iphone.For now I turn the fireplace on. Grab a cup of coffee.Relaxing into my favorite chair I smile and say a special thank you as another day unfolds.
