Reality

You want the truth--the truth of my life? It's really great & I'm being refined every day. I'm learning things and getting better bit by bit. BUT sometimes it's sad to live alone. Sure, no one leaves the toilet seat up at my house. No one makes messes or screams when they don't get what they want (except for yours truly). No one refuses to eat dinner because it is contaminated by onions. No one spills their juice or says mean things. No one jumps on my furniture or bothers me when I'm on the phone. No one needs a white shirt ironed or a life-size working volcano made out of flour and soda. No one tells me how and when to spend my money. You know what? Those things sound kind of nice today. Today--when there's no one to share a bowl of popcorn with. No one to sit on my feet to keep them warm. No one to tell me what they learned in primary. No one to sing and dance with. No one to cuddle with. No one else to bless the food or make plans with for tomorrow. No one to tell me how pretty I looked today at church or notice how good I smell. No sticky hands or silly questions. No one. That's the truth.

So, for those you who have a noisy and disorderly house, just smile & enjoy it.
