Looking out life's window

When I am in church.. like most, I head

to the rear pew… but I stay away from the

window…   knowing my penchant   for

looking out it when I am suppose to be

paying attention to what is going on inside.

There always seems to be something thru

that window that draws my attention.. and

like most, that was true of when I was in

school.

I am drawn to the light, to the goings on out

there that seem to be more interesting than

what is going on inside.  The sunny it is, the

worse it is for me.

Even at home.. I am drawn to the window,

from time to time.. when I am sitting near

the living room window..  I see Schweitzer Mountain  

in all her beauty.   When in the kitchen, I love

to work at the sink, as I see the oak tree in

her many colors of the year… the clouds

coming across the lake.. that I don’t see.

Even the door has long windows, that I look

into my back yard, and over the neighbors

house, I see the sun or the light or clouds

depending on the day.

At restaurants, I want the window side.

And I love watching lightening, as it streaks

across the sky.  Yes, I am definitely a window

person. Told my family, if I get put into a nursing

home.. please oh, please make sure I have

a window side bed.   For without the light and

the view, I surely will die from depression
