It’s this simple:

The Other Side of  The Sheets are always Rougher, Scratchy, More Abrasive. . .

There’s no such thing as a perfect day, but this one came close to it.

Do near perfect days scare you?

Are near perfect days, the big

B    E    W    A    R    E:

SOMETHING BAD IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN ?

Honestly. . .that thought didn’t cross my mind

THIS TIME!

After a very busy morning, we spent the rest of the day together.

We traveled two-and-a-half-hours to go visit and take my parents out to dinner.  We spent over three hours together at a restaurant with them that felt more like less than thirty minutes.

We traveled the two-and-a-half-hour ride back home, much like we did there, talking, dreaming, scheming, singing songs from my LOVER PLAYLIST

We laughed, even got a little misty a couple of times when we talked about things of the past, the specialness of

THE NOW

and spoke of the great Look Ahead and how we saw ourselves

T        H        E        R        E

How many times do we say or heard it said:

GRAB THE MOMENT AND MAKE IT COUNT

NEVER PASS UP AN OPPORTUNITY TO SAY OR BETTER STILL, SHOW

I          L OVE          YOU.

. . .because ‘YOU NEVER KNOW’

We  did  THAT!

We knew it was GOOD

and we really embraced it for just THAT

We saw exactly how good Life was and then, it wasn’t. . .

We finally got home, but we really weren’t tired from a day of traveling;

Nearly perfect days REFRESH not REPRESS

We watched the end of a show on TV and then the 10:00 p.m. news and went to bed;

slept great.

We woke up early, just like always, ready to make the new day OUR’S like the day before

and before I could blink,

Erin had a seizure and then another one and then another one in the back of the ambulance and then another two in the emergency room. . . .

Before I could take a deep breath or several short gasped ones

We found ourselves on

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SHEETS

We found the other side of the sheets

are much ROUGHER than any other side we’ve ever felt

RAZOR BLADE-LIKE. . . .

Myth of the Day:
Just because we have a Near-Perfect Day,

and Know it,

and Act Like it,

Experience it fully,

EMBRACE IT COMPLETELY. . .

WE STILL WANT MORE. . .always a just a little more. . . .

(For the next several Friday’s I will be posting about the ROUGH experiences from the other side of the sheets, and mostly. . .the lessons experienced, learned and now, hopefully, shared.  I hope you enjoy the journey’s and more, take the opportunity to share a few of yours so that we can all learn a little more about those razor blade laden sheets…and in the sharing, soften them a little)
