Glad-Factor


Aren't you SO glad, after nights that feel like this...


 We wake up in the morning feeling like this...?!


Glad for goodness rife with mercy
Glad for hope and strength regained
Overflowing in the morning
Where at night its cup was drained

Glad for more important purpose
Than mere Self to satisfy
Glad this grin-and-bear-it progress
Reaches through both grave and sky

Glad my sentimental musing
Is the gift of ‘having had’
Glad those things not of my choosing
Make me treasure more ‘the glad’

...and this morning my foremost thought is
"I'm glad to be alive!!!
after a TERRIBLE choking scare yesterday on a mouthful of Life cereal!
(the irony lost on me (because it shook me up so bad) 
'til I told Jim last night and he said that would have made quite the headline
"woman chokes to death on Life Cereal"
I was here alone with Brantley and had skipped lunch 
so I could finish the garden work while he was asleep.

After he woke up I remembered I didn't eat so I poured a bowl of cereal and I think I likely just put too much in my mouth 'cause I was in a hurry and when Life cereal gets wet it turns into paste
and it would not move up or down. Thankfully it moved just as I thought I was going to black out
(I will spare you the gross details)
so I have researched what to do when you are alone and choking!
The moral of this story; slow down and chew your food!
