ahhhh, alas it is friday 3days off and no worries in hand this morn i dreamed of an old friend i haven't seen in 25yrs or so so i got up and called her she lives in Seattle WA we chit chatted a moment and said good-bye she's still being domestic Goddess while her wife works they've been together longer than i've seen her but anyways, after the call i sat and asked, has she really changed thru the years in conversation it seems not but somehow i think Life must shape us and grow in sum small way at least but some friends i think haven't changed much staying in the same circles throughout their lives maybe the truer reflection is i have changed MUCH since long ago i've noticed how i've weaved in and out between passive and aggressive humility, love and hate how my horizons have expanded even in staying in one place these past 20yrs it has been my mind that has been reshaped thru the illness, through my books, through my new friends at church in my younger days i thought seeing the world was the way to new horizons well now i know, it is through many things but especially through one's thoughts and how we perceive, react, engage, and learn from our moments of Now no matter we stay in one place or adventure thru travel i recognize this not only with my chat with Val but also with an ex-girlfriennd of mine whom i recently had coffee with we were together over 15yrs ago, and she still seems so simple just as way back when there is beauty in the simple, a great reminder to enjoy life simply yet , i hunger for more i always have and i can't imagine ever being full i am grateful for my path no matter how treacherous it has been at times i know i can endure anything that comes my way the future holds more paths to journey while i treasure the moment which i live in Now....

That is an outstanding outlook. I try to share it with you. Like someone said the other day, I am very thankful for the path that I have followed, but I wouldn't do it again for all the money in the world. I've had a lot to learn over the past few years. My sight hasn't been formed through my illness, but through my husband's. It's amazing what plans God has laid out for all of us.
