My World Of Hopes, Dreams, Fantasies

Beautiful Life

Prompt: "You were given life. It is your duty to find something beautiful within life, no matter how slight." Elizabeth Gilbert

Life isn't always beautiful. I was working in mental health, it was rough. I kept thinking when I retire, things will be better. My son moved away for his Psychology job in Oregon. I retired. Covid happened. I pray. I still have God and Jesus. I got arthritis. I can't do the things I used to. I quit scrapbooking. I don't read like I used to. I go to Church. Things changed at Church and the Church was a happier place before Covid. I clean my house. I watch TV and go shopping. I have lunch with my friend and visit my cousin. I used to be happier. Covid changed our lives.

What is beautiful in my life? I still have friends. I am not dying of a disease. My husband is here with me. I have a beautiful cat. I still have my parents. I have my friends at WDC. I still write. I will never quit writing. I have a Tote of scrapbooks of memories, autographs of famous people, I am a Creative Scrapbook Designer. I collect a lot of things. I enjoy life but I wish life was better. Live each day as it comes. Pray. Do what you like that makes you happy. We live another day. That is something. I focus on that. There will be something come to come along, that makes me happy. Bad things happen and so does good. Beautiful? Get dressed up. Look at the beauty around you in nature. Pet a cat or dog. Look at the things in your house that you love and collect. Write happy stories. Think of God. There is beauty in the world.
