The funny thing is, when I first moved into this old house, I had a fear of going down into the basement. But it was either go down there or have to take my clothes to the laundromat and pay to clean them, so I begrudgingly went down those steps week after week, the fear never really going away.
Then one day, while traipsing up and down, I saw this:
It inspired me to write the following:
The day was dreary...rainy, cold and windy. I had just come up from the basement with my laundry in my hand, doing my best to duck the raindrops. As I entered my apartment, I turned to close my back door and spotted this beautiful rainbow. It reminded me how often wonderful things have followed bleak times in my life, and that if we persevere, we'll get to see the rainbow at the end.
It also gave me a different perspective of the basement.
That's what looking at the world through Murray's eyes has done for me too. Seeing it so fresh...so new. I can't imagine my life without him now.

What a wonderful outlook on life. I believe I must have the valleys in my life to appreciate the mountains. God is with me all the time anyway.
Our pets are such a treasure!
Seeing life through someone elses eyes can be eye opening.
Next time get down on your knees and see what he sees
amelia,
That's so true...both statements :)
walker,
I would, but these knees are too old :)
Mom's coming to town today to visit her favorite daughter. Have fun with Oscar and Murray for a couple of days
