Siggy's Blurbs: Siggy's Edge of Country …

Every thing is always about balance.  Some thing goes wrong between your wife and you.  So then you correct the problem.  There is nothing wrong about problems.  It indicates something between both of you needs to change.  Or you need to make some kind of adjustment.  Life is full of adjustments (and problems).  The only people who never have to change are under the ground.  It is a natural process.  And it happens all the time.  Problems are what makes our life interesting.  And the ongoing changes (and adjustments) they necessitate.  Life is always about seeking equilibrium.  One way this way.  And one way the other direction.  A constant seesaw.  Of course some people are in the middle most of the time.  And they do not get ruffled easily.  Most, though, are not that lucky.

It is not necessary to be combative.  If your wife says something and you know it is not right or partially false, so what, let it go.  Do you think you are right all the time even when your wife lets your comment go?  When it is necessary, correct your wife but only do this sparingly.  No one wants to be corrected all the time.  A lot of times she will realize, maybe, she is wrong (as well as you).  It is much more important to get along.  So be careful when you correct your wife.  You better have a good reason to do so.  Silence, sometimes, works wonders.  So pick your battles.

There is something comforting about a snowstorm and knowing there is no where else to go and all you can do is enjoy the snowflakes and your house and pets and your wife.

It just started an half an hour ago.  The snow flakes are tiny so I know I am in for it.  I can’t change the weather.  I just did a quick shopping trip not that I was going to run out of anything but I was low on a few supplies.

Tomorrow I will sprinkle some birdseed on the snow.  I already filled the suet.  The woodpeckers and nuthatch will greet me tomorrow.  My sunflowers feeder is still relatively full and I will get a steady stream of titmouse and black capped chickadees.

If the worst possibly scenario presents itself and we lose power, I have plenty of coal.  We will ride out the storm and enjoy all our bird visitors who come to our feeders and our four dogs will frolic in the snow.  Is there any thing better than that?

Wonder and mystery is many things.  It is being surprised by a sunset.  Your mind was somewhere else and there it was taking your breath away.  It is knowing you never could have predicted your life and how it was unraveling.  Your wife is a mystery, who you know you did not deserve.  It is so many things you do not understand but strain to.  It is knowing this world could never have been created by man:  it is far too vast and intricate.  That there must be a higher power.  That could be the only answer.  Not that all this is not a mystery.  There is so much I am awed by.  The mystery called sex.  Only God could have created that.  The wind that blows from nowhere and disappears just as quickly.

Knowing your dusk has come and you really have no idea how many dawns will still appear in your life and all you can do is treasure each moment.  Wouldn’t life be boring without mystery and wonder?  And do you have any doubt man was created just below the stature of angels?  And also the universe could not have created by chance.  All that is mystery (and wonder).  So ponder some of those things.
