Good morning. I will admit I was more functional about twenty minutes ago before the Internet glitched and I lost the post for today that I’d just completed. There’s functional and then there’s barely capable to make the right choice.
But either way, I’m up, I exercised, I read my email, the world news, got cleaned up, made coffee, and now I’m attempting to recreate the blog I’d already written but lost. Sounds about right.
Today’s letter is F. Other than functional, F stands for things like friends, family, food, and freedom. Let’s start with Family. I have five grandchildren, four here and one in Norway. We were able to see the four here at Easter and FaceTime with the one in Norway. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Where have the years gone?
Food is something else that starts with F. Not just stuff you eat, but the stuff that feeds your soul. Seeing those guys or talking o them online feeds my soul and reminds me of how lucky I am.
Friends are the family we choose for ourselves.
Finally, the last F word I want to use (and that was deliberate) is FREEDOM. I’m so grateful to live in a country where I have the freedome to be myself, to choose my friends, my health care, to make my own finacial decisions, and know that if I ever need help I have friends and family who love me, and that is the best freedom of all since it lets me be there for them and them for me.
This is a day early because Facebook and WordPress hate me today!
