Reasonable happy.

Me and Sweetie.



One of Sweetie's pet name for me was "Handsome Bruit." When we watch the movie "Beauty and the Beast", the love story of a woman of great love, and a man that thought himself too ugly to know love, I can cry when I apply it to Sweetie and her Handsome Bruit. She showed me love, and that grew into being the love of my life. 

In my morning prayer and meditation time. I write down prayers from the AA program. I have one line in one of those prayers that has given me so much understanding and strength to make the days go by. It is "That I maybe reasonably happy in this life." 

Reasonably happy, have you ever tied those two words together? Never thinking of happy as a condition to hold on to, and the varying degrees of happiness, puts my head and heart into agreement as to live life on a mellow plane. 

Reasonably happy allows for disappointments, low times, and at the same time, helps cap the extreme times of both low and high life points. I can find reasonably happy in all the events of my life as I share them with Sweetie and those around us. Emotions are fleeting, and the ones that endure are the ones that fill ones days. My goal is to find that reasonably happy zone and stay in it, for Sweetie's love is in the center of my reasonably happy heart. 

Friday

Friday was the same old kinda of a day. A routine kind of a day. Was able to get in a round of golf. The day was breezy so I bundled Sweetie up warmly and away we went. I had a couple of high points, got a birdy on #8, I also hit my longest drive on that hole, 255yds. To finish off the game with a par on the 9th. For. The 7th through 9 are the three toughest holes on the course, so, if your a golfer, you can understand my joy. 

It was just a "reasonably happy" day for the two of us. Good times were the order of the day. 

That is the way Driver had planned it. A good day on the Road to Dementia Town, as we traveled Keeping our Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv ya, and God Bless.

A fitting farewell.

When we were young. I've been rummaging around and found this picture of Sweetie and me. We had been married for about a year when this...
