Monologue Mania Day #1016 Every by Janet S. Tiger (c) Nov. 24, 2016
Every
A monologue by Janet S. Tiger © all rights reserved
Every day in the summer we went to the beach, every month we took a nature walk, every year we went to Thanksgiving dinner with my mother treating so no one had to work all day.
Every.
Every morning I make my husband's breakfast because he can't see as well anymore since the stroke. I get the tea ready and then I prepare his eggs just in case I'm not there when he gets up.
Every day I take care of many things for many people and what I am not taking care of I am worrying about so....perhaps you could say I worry every minute of every day. But that would sound very depressing so I won't say.
Every second of every day I am grateful. I am grateful to be alive - grateful to those who helped me stay alive, and thankful for the chance to be grateful.
I am grateful now for every second I received my entire life on this, the last day of my 60th year - I am grateful that tomorrow I will be 61.
I am grateful for my friends and family. My family by and large are my friends and my friends have become my family too so I am doubly blessed. I have two beautiful children who are good people - smart, generous, good at heart. I have been blessed with so much and I am so very grateful for my health - the sunshine I get to see everyday -or the rain -both are beautiful in their own day.
This has been an amazing year - I get to write and it will be produced, every moment is a gift -every one is a gift - every gift a blessing.
Thank you God for letting me come to this season. My mother and father - thank you -are still with us in pretty good shape for their ages. My husband, after the stroke, is much better and everyday is also a blessing. My brother and my sister and her husband are all near, and that too is a blessing - and all their connections are mine, too, related by marriage and by friendship and by love.
Thank you God for giving me such bounty and on this day it is a special thing - but for me it is every minute of every day that I say thank you.
Amen.
And thank you for this wonderful device and every person who invented it or developed it and produced it in faraway countries because I was able to walk in the sunshine and write this today. And I do not have to print anything on a piece of dead tree because all trees are my friends........
And now let's eat!!
