still!!!

6 days into this 80th year and the feelings persist.  Last night Terry and I talked and it dawned on me that the feelings I have are beyond just being super happy...I feel joy.  I've felt joyous on occasion and for short lived times but I've never felt joy for 6 days.  Now maybe you feel joy all the time? and I'm the odd man out?  All I know for me- this is an incredible feeling and I will savor every minute! Not really feeling lack of faith but...the reality of life, or at least mine, is- this will fade away as that is how mortality is!  It's accompanied by a feeling of excitement and anticipation...that feeling of something pending!  What a marvelous gift I'm enjoying right now! Most exciting and enjoyable birthday I've ever had!  Most memorable!!
