Life Has Been .... Interesting

I am not much one to remember ancient proverbs. So many of the proverbs sound so trite and trivial that my brain cells refused to be wasted in such a manner. Still there are a few that appeal to me. One is a proverb on revenge - If you sit by the river long enough, the body of your enemy will come floating by. The other is a curse for one's enemies - May you have an interesting life.

So before I go any further, would the person who cursed me please identify themselves so I can go sit by the river and wait - with my knitting of course.

The past ten days have indeed been interesting.

In the past ten days, I have done a home visit with a woman that left me feeling hopeless to help her due to lack of community resources while I drove home to my comfy little apartment to sleep that night in air conditioned comfort.

In the past ten days, I have had the discussion with the vet about when it's time to take the Sherm for the big sleep.

In the past ten days, I have gotten a good review and raise at work.

Having an interesting life is only a curse if we see only the bad things that happen and forget the good. I am finding that in my interesting life, I may go through a bad patch, but the good interesting generally outweighs the bad interesting. Even better the good interesting has come into my life with my interesting friends and supportive family.
