The simplicity of my day to day. |
“But it is a sort of April-weather life that we lead in this world. A little sunshine is generally the prelude to a storm.." ― William Cowper I honestly don’t think I’ve read or heard a truer saying than today’s prompt. I live my life in an optimistic fashion and yet I expect the inevitable dramas which life throws at you. My husband says I’m pessimistic and yet that’s so far from the truth. I handle each crisis calmly and in a way that allows me to not panic, to remain calm and hopefully deliver good counsel. These days the dramas are from the family, with so many children, grandchildren and great grandchildren there is always something to worry about. I attempt to stay calm, but always expect there’ll be someone with a problem. But that’s life isn’t it? Happiness is fleeting but contentment can be long lasting even in a crisis. Most problems are fleeting, but expected. That’s how I live my life, enjoying the moment, the blue sky days, because inevitably a cloud will block out the sun. There is a saying that says you’re only as happy as your saddest child and that is so true. It’s the April showers which ensures one will enjoy the rainbows. |
