Life is a tapestry, someone once said: Pretty to look at but when you get up close there are a lot of repairs, mismatched threads, moth holes and frayed ends…. And it smells a bit. However, it all blends into a beautiful whole when you take a few steps back.
Or maybe I just made that up..
Anyhoo, Life for me is a list.
The List.
It never gets completed like the Task Lists that were so popular a few years back.
It seems to get longer as time goes on and only shuffles itself without you noticing.
It’s two sided.
The good and the Bad.
Here’s mine.
-
Gill has started having hot flushes and dizzy spells
But Gill has lost over a stone since early October.
-
Mum is showing signs of dementia
But Mum is beginning to cope with losing Dad a year ago.
-
Ashley has life-long disabilities
But Ashley is a fantastic, sociable bundle of Love.
-
Cerys may have epilepsy and is a bed wetter
But Cerys is very intelligent and will excel.
-
I may have high blood pressure after a GP test.
ButI bought a monitor which says I haven’t.
-
Age makes me ache.
But My peers all look older than me.
It’s not comprehensive. Things loom and fade from day to day.
But it’s always there.
The List.
You got one?
