When I was younger my threshold for joy and contentment was different. I didn't appreciate every special moment because there were lots of moments and I thought they would keep coming. At this age I have experience with loss and hardships but I take the time to feel the good with my whole self when it comes my way no matter how small or mundane.
I love the feel of clean soft sheets at bedtime, my morning coffee made just like I like it, a sweet dog on my lap, the opportunity to make a new friend, witnessing a perfect sunset, the mist on my face at the beach, being a helper, and the knowledge that I am loved.
Simple pleasures are where it's at.
The give and take of this virtual space is a special and unexpected bonus and I am thankful.
I literally can meet a new friend here everyday.
In the midst of so much that's hard I realize I'm smiling as I write because the good outweighs the bad. Every single day if I let it.
Good night Mastodon friends.@NorcalGma2
sometimes I feel lucky that I became disabled as young as I did, for exactly this reason. There were many, many things I stopped taking for granted much younger than most. I learned to slow down, to listen to my body, to pay attention to whether my friends were actually genuine - would this person actually be there if I needed them? In a way, things become brighter because you notice them more. I appreciate every day now and have been since I was 22. I'm nearing 40.

Good night Mastodon friends.@NorcalGma2 Thank you so much for sharing these glimpses into your life and thoughts. It gives me joy to see images of Summer and her pal and to witness deeply-felt moments of warmth and love, no matter how many difficulties surround them. I wish you all the best.
