    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. 💪 still here.

                @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.🙏🏽

                              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.

                                I am the lucky one. This community is the most welcoming group of humans I've ever encountered. Like long distance family.

                                  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.
