"Life always gets harder near the summit..."


I bet you already know what that’s from, my brilliant readership; no? Yes, you do. My tonight’s prophetic fortune cookie! Here’s another, just for fun: “Life is full of wonders…explore what’s around you.” Now to look deeper into what that may mean would mean that I have too much time on my hands and we all know that I do and so…I think that it could mean that maybe what your neighbor planted in his backyard, might not have been his elderly cat…if you get my drift. Or it could mean that reptiles roamed the whole earth and maybe if you look hard enough or dig in your own backyard it could become an archaeological dig of your own with millions of years experience and a big payoff, historically speaking of course! Or maybe Mote is building that aquarium in Punta Gorda and wow we will have more entertainment than we know what to do with! Or that Redneck Yacht Club, which is by no water but deep in mud in the eastern part of the county, will soon have a real water park butting up against it, oops did I say butt and against it in the same sentence with Redneck? I don’t know about you, but those made me giggle a little, wee bit…! Oh yea. I’m still waiting for them all to find out that Bubba really means ‘Grandma’ in Yiddish, oops…I feel another giggle coming on, oh stop me before I drop to the floor and let out a great big Hoop and Holler! I’m good, no I am too much. Although, there was a time that our little darlings, sons that is, built big trucks ‘mudders’ with tires taller than their dad, who is about six feet tall, my Hubby and they would spend some weekends on the east coast of Florida in the woods and in the mud, driving those whiplash providers…and calling it all a heap of fun. Personally, I didn’t get involved in that backwoods mentality of rough housing in a truck. The boys, our sons, worked for their money and spent it on all those accessories that go along with the sport. Of course they surfed and played beach volley ball, swam, water skied, one had a rock band and one played the keyboard and they both played piano and guitars, one was in plays and they both played soccer at one time or another, one took Tae Kwon Do and for him SCUBA too make that both, horse-back-riding lessons for the other, and horse riding for both… and I am more than sure our sons did this and that’s all of their growing years… and most I could get my heart and soul wrapped around, except that mudding thingy, sorry! And yes that was all in whatever backyard we lived in, not to mention winter sports from when we all lived up north, so soak up your own local color of what is there and enjoy, yes, that’s the idea! Now back to my entitled fortune, “Life always gets harder near the summit”. Gosh, am I almost there? Life, at times sure seems harder… and then it doesn’t. Moving on… Today I did have my tummy appointment and he changed one of my medications that I have been on for over a year, and I will find out if it is doing what it should be doing… so he gave me samples for one month and then I will be back in his office to decide if this is the answer or if I need some other one or the test for that. So that’s my update and my theories on ancient wisdom and so now allow me to be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and ask you to kindly to count all your blessings and share all your overages and we will too! And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?
