Missing

Day 24: Something You Miss

Of all the things I’ve lost, I miss my mind the most. 😉 

This specifies “something”, so it can’t be a person. But it could be a person’s LOVE….Hmmm…

I miss the unconditional love of my dog. But I love having the unparalleled joy of the Bug now.

I miss the innocence of childhood, not having a job other than picking up sticks out of the yard & keeping my room cleaned up.  But I am thankful to be grown & appreciate the value of hard work & know how much it takes to spend ten dollars on something frivolous. 

I miss the days when we weren’t eat up with Yankees & Dotheads. There is no but.

I miss when I didn’t have to worry about spots on my skin being cancerous. But I’m glad I’ve lived long enough to have “age spots” & been fortunate enough to be out in the sun long enough to get freckles.

I miss reading all day, but I’m thankful I have Shug to occupy my time these days.

I miss people telling the truth, & not skirting the issue. But there have always been snakes. I guess I’m glad I’m not naïve anymore.
