Three Point Turn

I had a friend whose road was so very easy to miss I seemed to often drive by and then have to do a three point turn in the road to go back and proceed down the intended but missed road. I don't think I ever mastered that blind corner and the road from which you had to turn off was so highly banked up and crowned it wouldn't do to try a U-turn. So there I was forever relegated to the three pint turn. I felt like Homer Simpson. I guess I often feel like Homer (like just now, I had to re type Homer no less than four times because after all these years I still can't seem to time the shift key with certian other keys, let alone get the space between a capital I and a lowwer case w like in "I was")

Well this morning I was looking for the three point turn. I had got up late. It was my own fault ( but I really wanted to blame Lyssa and did blame Lyssa even though I knew I was to blame.)

I could easily make a list off all the reasons I felt "out of sorts"(my mother has used that phrase all my life and I dreaded to hear it! I guess it does communicate what is going on with me.)

As Lyssa said as we walked in to work. "It is a beautiful day."

I have so much to be thankful for and it would be much better to resit the urge to focus on those things which I feel like complaining about. I rather should rejoice! Yes Fionia, I need to learn to rejoice.
