Oh I am so glad you shared this memory!! I totally forgot about that book and haven’t thought of Erma Bombeck in years. Mom loved her too, I am sure she had a copy….or did she borrow it from your Mother?;) xx

“In the Midst of My Happiness” would be a great title for a memoir! I had the thought one day, many years ago “What if I was already in Heaven but I just didn’t know it??!!” It really gave my pause to notice what was right in front of me. Thanks for your comments Deb! xoxo

I think really dwelling int he here-and-now IS our getting maximum bang for our buck. Thinking of the “perfect average day” really opened my eyes to glory and peace AVERAGE……..(it is still a struggle to limit myself in the “treat du jour” department;) xo

We all keep reaching as if great isn’t good enough, but what if we’re in the midst of our happiness and just can’t see it.

Hearkening back to when we were children of our parents not letting us eat all of whatever the treat du jour was or we would make ourselves sick.

I know how most of my perfect day is spent. However, due to life happening, that is delayed for several years. What it does do, is make one think about how one is spending the here and now so that maximum bang for buck is achieved, without the end result being ‘enduring the time’.
