I'm Alive

I awakened this morning to discover I'm still alive. Jet lag truly exists! I spent all of yesterday lolling in bed, watching inane shows, playing card games on my computer, eating and napping - especially the latter!! Couldn't find energy to do anything. This morning I awakened before 8 am, dragged all the dirty laundry to the machines and got started. I will leave today or tomorrow to drive to Florida to help my brothers dispense with our mother's vast accumulation of stuff. She frequented Goodwill on a regular basis. I should have bought some stock in the company for what she bought and donated over 70 years!! People ask why I am not in mourning over Mom's passing. The truth is, I am still rejoicing in the perfection of God's timing. Mom's mind remained razor sharp to the end and she died exactly as she wished - surrounded by her treasures. Mom's body was giving out, joint-by-joint, and serious decisions as to how and where she'd live loomed on the near horizon. God took care of all that and took her home. She is now pain-free and probably in search of the closest heavenly Goodwill! *grin* God's timing remains perfect. I rest in that.
