"Lucky Potatoes" is a Danish saying for all the blessings in ones life.
The aroma of morning brewed coffee wakened by body, shuffling into the kitchen, pouring the steaming liquid into its daily receptacle; my eyes open to the the new day.. The view from our home is "heaven" on this earth.. Ridges off in the distant, smokey clouds creating ballerina skirting..The hydrangea's are brilliant pinks and blues..Deer parading by on their familiar path, steam rises off the pool; Peace, serenity and calm; the atmosphere of this place we call home.
Our journey together has endured so many bumps however Frank and I are experts at dodging boulders, crushing them and creating sand to level the foundation when it becomes uneven. We are facing a new challenge; early stages of Alzheimer's. The diagnosis can not negate the life lived nor is it a sentence of "the end" ; in truth, it is a beginning; a new journey added to an already remarkable adventure. We will navigate these waters with the same enthusiasm we live today; "we live"...
We are so grateful for dry eraser boards; our life is in black ink reminding us of the obligations, gatherings, social engagements...The Lucky Potatoes of our life...
It is now time to look out the window realizing that everyday brings new surprises, new beginnings and opportunities...
I close with gratitude for all the love of family and friends; the sand that levels the ground we both stand on.
We are " Lucky Potatoes"
