Shutting out and off that outside world

[Loretta Riddell (Elohi)]

Shutting out and off that outside world
Life can change so quickly leaving many of us with whys
But if you grew up under Grandma Freeman's thumb
You learned quickly never question God
So I haven't and won't

For the last few days I have been alone
And it has been a saving grace for me
Turning off the electronics and at 1 or 1:30 starting a new day
Seeing the stars and moon ..watching clouds morph into
frogs, sitting on the tree line teddy bear on a cloud , reminded me
of days so long ago a child laying on the grass awed by the clouds
and fire fly's..plus my deer .. this morning I thought my mama doe was
going to join me for coffee,

Thinking about all Our Family that has moved on... Crazy, beautiful, and happy memories,.. These last few days I have enjoyed every beautiful person , parents, aunts and uncles, brothers, nieces and nephews and how they blessed each and everyone of us..

I have not allowed my Ed to become a memory yet.. Because when the world starts turning the Red Tape and BS begins again..and he gives me reasons to laugh as I search for his important papers, I discover a contract between a Grandson and him, pictures of children and grand children back east and here.. I may never find all the papers, but what he had in his important papers files reminds me what is and was important to him not what he had in life but who was in and part of his life

So it's time to start another day
Take care , live, love and be happy
