Early Mornings

I remember my Parents alway saying "the early bird catches the worm "_ but they didn't get up repeatedly all night with a cough.

And here I sit my friends, awake and drinking coffee at 3:30 AM -coughing. In all fairness to my cough,  it woke me an hour ago, I merely tried to ignore it in the vain hope it would go away.

No such luck.

Those wonderful REM times when our bodies get rejuvenated from that deep sleep, not gonna happen. Not here, not now. Today will bea day of trudging in a zombie like state, feeding myself  fuel to keep going, until I can get home and collapse.

Now I'm not complaining !  I knew all this could happen 24 years ago, when discovering there was a chance I couls live longer.  I have endured worse, much worse. And if I am truthful I will 3ndure worse again, before this is all over.  So I am so very grateful that I am still here experiencing everything life has given me, plus all the Blessings yet to come.

And that is today's lesson..... be thankful for everything in your life. Good, bad, & other wise. Smile through the bad, laugh at the otherwise,  and truly enjoy the good. For therein lie the memories that will help you sail tthrough life :)

Back to my coffee, my book on the Civil War, and hopefully an early morning nap.

Havea wonderful day today -good, bad or otherwise,  it is YOUR. Day.
