What Is Lonnie's Room?

There is a room in our home to which I navigate more frequently than the others. It makes me feel secure, it is cozy, and it is quiet. From the peak of the room, there is a large rusty metal angel suspended by a very thin wire. It would apear as if the angel is hovering over me, protecting, and always present. The lighting in the room creates a virtual display of dancing shadows around the angel.

Every evening when I am in "MY ROOM", I think of what Luciano de Crescenzo once said, "We are all like one-winged angels. it is only when we help each other that we can fly."

Knight in Denim and Plaid

Valentine Day this week brought back some great reminders for me that I  would like to share with my readers.  First, it reminded me that some of the simplest things in life are the hardest to do.... saying thank you, saying I'm sorry, saying I appreciate you, saying I love you.   I personally have a Knight in denim and plaid who changes my light bulbs, who scoops the walks and drive, who walks my dog, who hauls my garbage, who buys me little things just because he wants to.   Over the last 45 years we have raised a family, spoiled grandchildren, traveled, had some difficult moments, had losses and grief and have experienced scars which we carry in our souls where they aren't seen.....all part of life.  Life is not orderly or neat.  Often it is confusing and messy, but we cannot quit hearing the music and loving the players.  Thank you to my Knight in Denim and Plaid.
