My cup runneth over.

I like the way my life is unfolding. The things going on around me. In my immediate environs. To me, that's more important than what's happening in the rest of the world. Because this is my exposure. My experience. My life. For the most part, I can't control others' lives. But as for my life, I have reasonable control. I'm able to make effective choices daily. To do this or that. To act this or that way. I'm free in that sense. And I can talk to myself. Set myself straight. I never lack for conversation. I could live on a desert island with nobody else within 100 miles, and I'd have my daily chats. But fortunately, I have a handful of others. Friends. So, my cup runneth over. --Jim Broede
