Contentment In the Afternoon

Sitting in my chair as comfy as can be. Just me, my son and my old dog to keep me company. Many years it’s taken, your almost 41. The obstacles along the way that we have overcome. There’s money in the bank (a little savings too). I get my new membership with money left for you. You talk to me quite often and even give me hugs, no pulling back against my arms like I’ve some kind of bug. At 60 I appreciate the life I have been given. It may look simple in your eyes but with it I’m quite smitten.

Thank you for your comment … sorting is sort of a life long process … kinda like housework, it never ends.
