Yesterday

(blog prompt)
What was the most important thing that happened yesterday?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am learning that I need to move on. I looked at the fireworks bedazzling the night air and I remembered a lot about times I spent with family in Kansas and Massachusetts. I felt real sad, because I realized I remarried someone who has little interest in the holiday trappings. I reflected in the mirror of sparkling beauty, on the fact my kids have grown up. It hurts to let go. It is like letting go of all those majestic glittering rainbow colors exploding in ecstacy only to have them seamlessly disappear.

I love my kids and yet I need to find my own joy, which is a real novel thought for me. It will be a lot of work. Shortly after the divorce I decided I would not take any pictures. I have taken very few pictures since twelve years ago when my first marriage officially ended. I offer excuses. I want to experience rather than take pictures of. I wrestle with whether there is a happy medium for me. Since the divorce I have three grandkids and have taken no pictures of them. I also have a daughter that just graduated and is headed to Iowa for her doctorate. I feel real sad. Tonight was like a slap in the face. It is as if God is telling me:
Look up and see how good life can be. Take a picture and share it with others. Let them know there are reasons to be in joy. Let them know all people can find God in joy-enjoy!!!
Thanks for asking the question!!!
