How things can turn sour. And sweeten back up.
Yesterday I mentioned I would like a donut. Bob said it would not do me much good. Suddenly I fell sullen and found myself staring into the deepest ugliest pit full of pestilence and frightening beings and horrible sounds full of the stuff only Art Bell would have understood.
It was no longer about a donut. It was about choices or the lack thereof. I realized that I have few choices that am in control of.
It did not seem right that someone I know could decide to stop at Wendy's or Fritches or Bob Evans or lord forbid White Castle and CHOOSE from any item on the menu.
Now what I've been through this week played a big part in how I reacted to all of this.
Today I woke back up in my comfy little place and realized that indeed I do have plenty of choices. I simply wrote donut on the grocery list and I will see what happens. Will there be a nice fresh glazed donut or a passive aggressive chocolate or maple? Ugh
Don't worry about me. I am over it and back in my happy place.
I am listening to Chronicals of Narnia. OMG, so good.
Update: He went from Stringtown Road to the Old World Bakkery to get me a bismark. They only had chocolate. He did it out of love not malice. He got three. Lol

Amazing how things can change in an instant, isn't it?! I'm proud of you for adding it to the 'list' and taking a 'wait and see' attitude. Your writing both amazes and humors me - all about the the deepest ugliest pit.... I really like how it turned out and how he did it out of love.....aweeee, too sweet.
ReplyDeleteChronicles of Narnia - are you reading the first one? I never read any of them but the other night we watched one of the latest movies and it was pretty good.
I'm watching "It's a Beautiful Life" and I'm loving it! I can't believe I've never seen it. Jimmy Stewart is wonderful and it's such a sweet movie - so far.
Please keep writing this stuff, Diane. I need it.
Where are our other sisters these days? Hope all is well and I love each and every one of you.
It is amazing how things change in a flash. Thankks about my writing. Some days I think my meds make my brain dump all of it's silly content right out there.
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time reading Narnia. I am loving it. Ihave never seen all of Wonderful Life. Will have to do that.
I wonder about our sisters too.
Yes, things can change in a flash...I just came to the page to add something myself and happy to see some more words from my sisters. Why are you wondering about me? I haven't blogged, but I have commented on almost every post that pops up.
ReplyDeleteIt's a Wonderful Life is one of my favorite movies to watch during the Christmas season. I love Jimmy Stewart and especially like the scene with the swimming pool. Another favorite for me is Miracle on 37th Street.
Miracle - good stuff.
