On ambiguity and simple joys
First of all i want to apologize for the lack of spaces in my posts. i may have to change templates- when i write them there can be spaces galore, but once published they all disappear.....
So momma-bear (the name which bubs began calling her not that long ago and which has become for us a term of endearment) does not necessarily like ambiguity. Which is to say that sometimes, you need to make a decision- even if you feel that doing so really doesn't matter.
For instance, prior to sitting on her cushion in the car (or whatever qualifies for a cushion at that time, we use many substitutes)she may ask me which side is better. Now there may be no real difference, but telling her so will only prompt continued questioning. Eventually, you may realize that the best way to deal with the situation is to pick a side at random. A decision is warranted, and leads to peace.
It's also a blessing to consider simple joys. Take right now for instance. A large-ish, fuzzy-ish, cuddly-ish brown dog is curled up against my thigh. The house is warm. It is spring time. Tonight we had a delicious dinner of asparagus and pierogies. The dog forgives grandma, who is doing her semi-nightly "must fuss about things and touch stuff" routine that precedes bed and bubs is watching tv.
Speaking of the nightly routine- it may end more quickly if i go and help her get ready for bed.
Thanks God for all!!
