  • I wish I did not overthink everything
  • I wish friends would not leave just because not all of us are good at responding exactly the way their expectations would….well, expect.
  • The caring is still there, even when people are weak.
  • But we have to keep our word, and
  • we have to hang in there, and
  • I have to be brave.
  • We all have weaknesses.
  • On a brighter note, I am falling in love with autumn again, and boy has this weather been lovely.

This made me smile today

~ Pleasant Street ~ 6 Comments

We all have burdens, and a few of mine have been pressing in lately. God is good, He is here but he does not promise that we won’t have trials. Anywho, it has been a tough season for family members and we all need to chuckle sometimes. A smile, a laugh, a smirk, all good, all healthy, when we can manage them. Here are a few things that made me smile today.

  • My husband complimented me on my cooking. It isn’t the first time but it was so nice the way that he did it.
  • He also said the kitchen looked really clean.
  • I am not a good housekeeper, so I do not hear this often. Nice.
  • I got a call from an old friend. I always say I don’t make and keep friends well, yet here this lady who I graduated with called me again to catch up. So great.

I also laughed at these—

[ Holly Golightly: You know those days when you get the mean reds?
Paul Varjak: The mean reds? You mean like the blues?
Holly Golightly: No. The blues are because you’re getting fat and maybe it’s been raining too long, you’re just sad that’s all. The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you’re afraid and you don’t know what you’re afraid of. Do you ever get that feeling?
Paul Varjak: Sure.
Holly Golightly: Well, when I get it the only thing that does any good is to jump in a cab and go to Tiffany’s. Calms me down right away. The quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there. ]

It is not exactly Tiffany’s, but as I strolled through the aisles, it was quiet and cool, clean and tidy, the neat shelves beckoning. I had a few items on a list, but as I gazed over the offerings, I imagined what I might bake or simmer or stew with the various items. Like a painter might do at an art store.
