Sitting On The Kitchen Floor

Life Notes, My Life, Thought, ,

I am sitting on the kitchen floor with my back against the cabinets looking out the window. It’s an interesting perspective. Watching the wind blow the leaves in the trees. Seeing how the sunlight dances on the leaves. The occasional “helicopter” fluttering down to the ground. In addition to the music I have playing in the other room, there’s the sound of the neighborhood as the windows are open. I hear dogs barking in the distance. I hear cars passing by. I hear children laughing occasionally. My Zack is sitting here in front of me on the floor looking out the window as well. Zack has always been our protector. He’s a wonderful fur baby. It’s such a beautiful weather day. Pondering the various aspects of the roller coaster life I have lived … I know God has blessed us and tremendous ways.

Charecteristics, My Life, Relationships, Thought, ,

When Lucenda was alive, I did most of the cooking (she did not like to cook). I did most of the clothes washing. I was OCD about the dishwasher. Lucenda was better at the cleaning than I was. Honestly, we both had our rounds at mowing the yard (before Brian was able to take over). She was the primary teacher for our son (homeschooling). She was very involved in the church nursery and children’s programing. She was very involved in community groups.

We did NOT do the “man’s work/woman’s role” things. We did what we were good at, together.

After she died, it took several people in all those areas to do what she alone did. She was great at what she did. She always put her all into her work.

Relationships … Partnerships … etc … require all parties to do their best to contribute to the betterment of the whole.
