The “F” in Sift
Today’s prompt asked me to
“Write about [my] dream home” –
but I’m gonna branch out
and write about my
“Dream Life.”
And how my
Word for 2024
“SIFT”
fits into that picture.
S = Simplify
I = Inventory and Itemize in order to prioritize
F = FOCUS
That’s the word for today… FOCUS on the present!
Here’s my present for today… for yesterday… for everyday…
my dear sweet husband, Bob, with whom I have been
married for 62 years TODAY!
He’s what makes my home
a “Dream Home.”
He’s what makes my life
a “Dream Life.”
Today my FOCUS is on how blessed I am
to have the gift of Bob!
That smile is because of our wonderful years together
and the opportunity to celebrate the occasion of our anniversary
with church friends at fellowship today and with another dear couple
at a special dinner last night. Ah, my “Dream Life” is not something
I take for granted. Believe me!
Today at church fellowship hour
Last night at a special dinner with friends:
The dinner was our gift to one another…
but my gift to Bob is coming.
It’s a surprise!
I’m waiting for the right time to tell him!!
This is Happy Bob a couple years ago
with our Boston Terrier, TazE.
We’ve always had Bostons in our
“Dream Home” wherever we were living
all these 62 years… but TazE died a year ago.
There’s a part of Bob’s personality
that is locked into his relationship
with a playful pup.
I miss that part of Bob
as much as I miss
the companionship of a pet.
I decided I need to FOCUS on
how to fix that problem!!
Sooooo….
Meet Owen!!!
He is my surprise for Bob!
He shares my birthday:
July 24th!
He will arrive sometime here
in the next couple of weeks!
Our “Dream Home” will be complete again!
And our “Dream Life” will resume!
Don’t you think I have chosen well?
Or do you think Owen
will complicate
rather than
simplify
our lives?
Hmmm??
Pups really do require a lot of care!
But what dream can you think of that doesn’t?
FOCUS on the love!
Stay tuned!
Love,
JanBeek
