My life, and everyone else's lives

[ailbhe]

All around me, it seems, people are ill, often with cancer, or they are mourning natural or violent deaths of loves ones, or dealing with fears related to past events, or overcoming recent or not-recent traumas, or fighting ongoing David and Goliath style political battles without a proper sling, or...

And my life is lovely. We are more or less accustomed to our (rich developed nation style) slightly straitened circumstances, we are all four of us well, we are working gradually on getting our house closer to perfection, we are not in any way persecuted or singled out for mistreatment.

And we're happy and the four of us are getting along really, really well; seeing Rob come home after a rough day of work and be transformed by his daughter's joy in seeing him is mindbogglingly enriching.

I have a lot of good things happening in my life right now. I do miss having a romantic/intimate relationship, and sharing a household with people I like, and I wish my relationship with my family were closer, but I have some brilliant friends and am in a position where I can control a lot of things I couldn't alter six or twelve months ago. Things may not be perfect, but I can make them better and in many areas I am. (But I have been feeling very *single* over the last few days, for some reason, and not in a good way. I need to remind myself of the good things about that state.) Sorry, ramble. I'm so glad you and your family are happy. You do a great hjob of sharing that happiness, all of you. :)
