So I am horrified to see the date on my last blog:
MARCH 28TH!!!
(At least it was THIS YEAR)...
What finally pushed me over to the keyboard
to break this long cyber-silence?
Outright desperation!
That's what my INSIDES feel like...
so hopeless, so spineless...
so unhealthy....
because my OUTSIDES are
so "fluffy"...
FLUFFY prevents my walking with ease,
or using stairs,
or wearing smaller clothes,
or feeling attractive.
FLUFFY has followed me around
all my life.
Even when I see in photos that I was fairly slim
(for me)....
I STILL FELT TOO FLUFFY!
But..."there is nothing either good or
bad, but thinking makes it so....
THINKING, THINKING,
STINKIN' THINKIN'....
I often wonder how horrified I would have been
at the age of twenty-five,
if I woke up with my current
75-year old body...
with its arthritic aches and limits.
There is an old joke that if I knew I was going to live this long,
I would have taken better care of myself.
Well, I didn't....and I haven't!
But what makes this blog still worthy to be published,
after such an embarrassing long silence?
That deep inside my heart and soul,
I am still enjoying the gift of my life
every FLUFFY day.
With hope and optimism,
and especially, GRATITUDE.
FLUFFY WILL BE FINE FOR NOW!
