Simple Things...
Otto said, “Since we're remodeling, and have been for several months now, there are several things - simple things - that I have learned to appreciate more. Now for this week's challenge...”
“How many simple things have you learned to appreciate more, for one reason or another? Please list them and feel free to elaborate on each.”
Here goes:
Breathing – such a simple thing, you don't even notice it most of the time. Suddenly have a lung collapse, though, and it's a whole 'nother ball game, let me tell you. Nail beds turning purple, gasping and flopping around like a fish in the bottom of the boat – it's ALL bad.
Working -– being recognized as a worthwhile human being, validated by that blue-green pay check every week – that's something you don't grasp until it's gone.
Sex – it matters not if you're rich nor poor, fat nor slim, beautiful or ugly – having sex is wonderful on many levels, all of which are missed when it is gone.
A reliable car – getting in on a sub-zero morning, inserting the key and having that puppy turn over and fire up. I don't miss having to keep a vehicle plugged in so battery and oil pan heaters function, having to haul out a kerosene fueled salamander, trying to get THAT fired up so you can heat your pickup truck's engine – I don't miss it one little bit.
If you want to play along every week, just visit the Monday Madness World Headquarters and Recycling Center to pick up this week's questions and to leave a link to your answers in the comments there.
