Being Alone

Today it took an extra amount of effort to get started with my day.  I believe that it was largely due to my being awake until 4a.m. I had so many thoughts to decipher.  I believe that it is wrong to worry so I try to remain cognizant as to whether I am falling into that mode of thinking.  I sometimes get these feelings that something extraordinary is looming just above my head.  The anticipation and wonder I feel inside is concerning it is awesome.  I have seen God do so much this year in just a short amount of time and I have become accustomed to asking and receiving like I never have before in all of my life.  
This morning as I was standing on the front porch waiting for David's school bus to arrive I had a moment of sadness pass over me concerning a few friends and associates who had gone on before me.  I think of them every now and then and I wonder if they left this earth feeling as if they had lived a fulfilling life or if they were just getting started.  I am very active in my retirement.  No one day is mundane or uneventful and I have learned that we are in control of our lives, our spirit, our happiness and our attitudes.  My family and I have already vowed to do some things differently this year and beyond.  We are no longer slaves to time, other people's issues, or finances.  I can't say that I am "Livin' the Vida Loca" (Crazy life) but I am having a good time and it is getting better everyday.  Why?  Because I call for it.  Do you?
Life is too precious not to enjoy.
