Uncle Roger's Notebooks of Daily Life
My life is, to me, ripe with frequent challenges, occasional successes, spontaneous laughter, adequate tears, and enough *life* to last me a lifetime. To you, however, it surely seems most pedestrian. And therefore, I recycle the name I used previously and call this my Notebooks of Daily Life. Daily, because it's everyday in nature, ordinary. These conglomeration of events that are my life are of interest to me because I live it, perhaps mildly so to those who are touched by it, and could only be of perverse, morbid curiosity to anyone else. Yet, I offer them here nonetheless. Make of them what you will, and perhaps you can learn from my mistakes.

The Road Not Taken -- Epilogue
After taking the last can down, I turned back toward the house. I approached one of the boulders in the front yard -- my zen rock -- knelt, and scooped the silt out of the basin in its top. I stood and went into the house to get dinner ready, secure in the knowledge that it would fill, once again, with clean water.
It's not all bad, this road I took. Not really bad at all, actually. It's a lot of work, indeed, but it's worth it. I have my partner, I have my kids, I have my zen rock.

That's one thing I keep saying to myself; 'ok, things seem bleak right now and you wish things were different, but hey - you're healthy, you have food to eat (more than enough and you abuse that but that’s an issue for another day) a roof over your head, a loving family and a boyfriend who adores you. Some of the things ARE changeable and you're just going to have to accept the things that aren't and be grateful that your life isn't as bad as it might have been. People all over the world are suffering daily hardships that you will possibly never have to deal with and that makes you one of the lucky ones, just remember that and be thankful for all the things you have and all the things you don't have to face.' I'm not saying that's how YOU should think. Lord knows, as I said, I don't have nearly as many worries as many people my age (let alone as many worries as adults with a house and children to cope with) but that is how I'm trying to think right now. It's helping. You know, I could be your zen rock if you wanted? You can always moan to me. I won't talk back (well, not much) or judge or criticize. Just listen. Hugs. |

Mine isn't a bad life either although certainly not the one I anticipated. My Zen rock is my kitchen window. |

You want to make sure mosquitos don`t breed in that Zen rock. |
