Folding Clothes and Taking Naps

It seems strange that it takes some of us eighty-seven years to understand more fully what is important in life.

So often my “great insights (?)” come as I am folding clothes after my regular Sunday morning wash, or perhaps just I am drifting into the twilight of my daily nap. Sometimes they come deep in the night dreams (that seem so prescient at the time) but which, upon waking too often are gone!

No matter. What is important is that those insights come at all. The point is made whether remembered later or not. Frustration that sometimes follows comes as one might think they are more important (for others to share) than is actually true. Perhaps they really are only for my benefit.

I am a most fortunate living person. I have reached a certain age and still have enough of my faculties to recognize the importance of being alive. Fleeting memories reassure me that I have “been there, done that” in so many ways. I am so grateful! I have blessings beyond any that I have a right to experience. I can only suppose that somewhere along the path I have done a few things in a manner that has resulted in more good than ill.

So, I will keep “Folding Clothes and Taking Naps!” I am so grateful!
