This Thing Called Life ~

Life is the greatest mystery.  You never know

 where it will take you and when it will end...

With this being said you never know what to expect from

 one minute to another.  Everything that was suddenly going so swell 

can turn to mush in the blink of an eye.  I have lived it so I know

 it, and I have seen it happen to so many.  Nothing that 

we can do but ride that wave and hope it passes.

One day at a time is sometimes the only thing to do.  I am the type 

who likes to know everything in advance, but I have also learnt that

 this is not possible, and at times when I think I know what 

the future holds, it never turns out to be that way.

Arvid has a more easy going look on things.  He says he prefers

 to not know, "so please don't tell me" is what he says to me. 

 Sometimes it can be very annoying because when I do

 tell him he really does not show an interest.  Many a times I just

 don't tell him anymore.  Don't see the need anymore.

Our days are nice and warm.  By the time Arvid comes home he
feels the need for us to go out and explore a little or as he puts it,
"let's go and have ice-cream."  Yesterday was again one of
 those days.   Beautiful scenery, warm weather and good
company made for the perfect evening outing.

Sometimes we spend so much time wishing for the 
"better," that we fail to be thankful for the "now."
