It's been a while since I started this blog. Life intervened as it always does and my theories got put to the test. Suffice it to say that life continues to be a narrow bridge...but if you don't trot across the bridge anyway, you'll never get where you're going.

That said, I have a narrow bridge road sign in my home..an anniversary gift from my husband who didn't swipe it from a local bridge, but ordered it on line. What a guy!

Anyway, I tripped over it and broke my femur. Now I get it. Life is not only a narrow bridge but a very funny one too. You've just got to laugh.

Just an ordinary day

When you live in a city that has been destroyed, it seems like every day should bring some sort of adventure or major struggle--perhaps an epiphany of some sort. But what really happens is that you just become a more generous person. It happens on a cellular level. It just isn't possible to begrudge --anything. Life becomes the most precious of gifts and if there isn't beauty and joy in it, then it's time to get busy. It's the reason that we're here...to notice these things and then pass it on.
