No complaining .....

Today I was visited by 4 older people....as I watched them wander from room to room I realized time is short.  In the **** short years that I have known them I have watched them age.  I realize that our lives unfold daily right in front of us.  

We get so busy that we don't even see it... and then years later you are wondering where the time went.  Where has your mind and spirit has been?  We let it slip away, into the wind, like it isn't important.  We get caught up in the making a living world and we forget to live a full life.  

I was glad for the visit today, it made me rethink a few things, treasure a few more things and gain some respect for others...  I know I bitch and complain on here alot...  I don't mean to, but this is the only way for me to let go of the negative things that happen in the shop.  It helps me unleash into the universe the things that I have no control over.  So that I don't have to harbor the hurt, so that I don't have to cry over things that are so foolish and stupid.  

Today was a day that started with help from several people that love me.  They want me to succeed, not just with the store but with my life.  They know I don't get much time to myself and they helped with a project that was important to me.  It is not done but we are making headway and they will be back to help finish.  Then the visit from the older people.  They travel an hour and 15 minutes one way about once a month to swing by the store, to check on me, make a few minor purchases, say some kind words and hug me on the way out.  

Today I will be thankful for the visit, the kind words and the opportunity to think about the good things in life.  The fact that I do matter to my friends, and family, and to so very many of my customers that travel from far away to visit with me.  Today I will be thankful for all things that have been presented to me in my life.  I am fortunate to have owned my own business, I am fortunate that my family and friends help me and I am fortunate that I only have a few more years of mortgage payments.  Today I believe I will conquer the world and I am glad I don't always have to be or feel alone.
