I had started a post about random thoughts, then realized they were too random at this time to make sense. I think that says alot about my life--too many random thoughts at once, even though it would have made a good post considering my day and the last few.
But then I used the delete button and backed up. I went outside to feel a cool breeze (ok, one random thought---we were supposed to get hail and high winds, but only got two brief cooling showers) and a few new thoughts began to flow.
I looked around me at what I could see close by--looking for a good idea for a post. I didn't see anything except the immediate surroundings that we had "constructed" for our own pleasure.
The new deck cover, the new extension, the new chairs, the new picnic table and table cloth, my plants, the wooden draw-sting shades, the new grille, the new grill cover, the outside bug candle......
What is all this?
It's all just junk we bought to make us feel better about where we are. For a little while, anyway.
We go hunting and gathering for these things when we have the time and the money, with the intention of making our lives better on down the line.
In the meantime, we just dream of a good day.
When I am dead, dead and gone....I wonder if I will care if the table cloth matches the new chairs...
But even if I don't---I hope I enjoyed that good day if we ever had it.
(On down the road, of course)
