There is a Mr. Jorie.
He is always "Just Peachy"--what a way to live a life--that glass always, always half full like he sees it.
People know and love him. People in the local Kroger, clerks and shoppers alike, know Mr. Jorie because he is who he is. His brand of sunshine is good medicine for everyone who crosses his path.
If something not so good happens in the little or big travails of life, he can always see something that will be positive in the situation.
Yes, sometimes I say, "enough of this sunshine is enough." After all, he married someone who is a realist and believes that life shows us both happy and sad, good and bad, hot and cold--oh, you know how the list goes on.
Sometimes his glass is half full and mine is half empty. Oh my goodness, I believe then, that no matter what, together we must be a whole.
And so we journey on in life together.
Together our glass then is always full to overflowing...and who has received the overflowing fountain of our goodness and positive thinking but our four children (described below), and my Elli girl and the new baby boy soon to meet his family, and their families and so it goes--the flowing that is--from generation to generation.
Yes, there is a Mr. Jorie....in all of our lives
