Missing Out



The first thing my husband said to me when he got home was you missed another beautiful day. Ah, gee honey thanks for the reminder. Trust me, it's not like I do not realize that every single day. It's one of the problems with living in Florida, every day is beautiful, there is rarely a rainy or yucky day where you feel good about staying in bed and curling up with a good book. But oh boy when one of those rainy days comes a long, it is wonderful!



When we first moved here, before we put our pool in, out back was just a little covered area, not screened in. When I took the dogs out I was too weak to stand to I would sit in a chair and hold the one extend a lead and the other dogs roamed free. Each time I did this, as I was sitting there, I would look at the absolutely gorgeous day and tell myself all that I was missing. I had no choice, it's not like I was being lazy. I was, am sick. At times I began to wonder how many days did I have left to lose?


There are days where I am so sick I could care less what the weather is and there are days where I am well enough to know exactly what I am missing. I have been sick for 10 years, that is a lot of days.
