Feeling good about life.

I like every day, ordinary life. Just being alive. And conscious. That makes the ordinary very special. To stop to think that I am able to think. To savor it all.  Doesn’t matter if I have nothing special planned.  Gives me time to reflect. About life. And to grasp the moment. Looking out the window. At the ice-covered lake and the snow-laden branches on the fir trees.  Doesn’t matter that spring has not yet arrived. I’ll take winter conditions. Even in mid-April. Or in June, for that matter. Because what matters most is that I am alive And conscious. And feeling good about life. –Jim Broede
