Hello!
I have been gone for some time. I have a few thoughts to share.
Today has been one of those days when you feel blessed to be alive and able to enjoy the wonderful things that come your way. First the sunshine. What a blessing after the winter weather we have endured. I'm sure we still have more to come, but the break is much needed and very appreciated.
I spent the day with my parents and I feel so blessed to be able to enjoy them. They are amazing. It seems the people around them are aging in different ways, they are too I know. I either choose to ignore it or they are doing it with such grace it just seems natural. They are teaching me a wonderful lesson I hope to be able to follow.
I saw my daughter June and her family. Her kids are full of fun and vigor. A joy to be around. They make me feel like life is standing still and I am right in the middle enjoying every minute they have to give me.
I was with my sweet granddaughter Mary Allison who never ceases to amaze me with her kindness and love for everyone around her.
We have many wonderful moments to enjoy in this new year. Some we know about. The addition of a new granddaughter in July is at the top of my list.
Roger and I have ventured out in preparation for retirement and have purchased property in Fl that we will be working on to enjoy for years to come. We will be spending a little time there now and hopefully more time when the oppurtunity to do so is there for us.
I hope this day was as special to all my friends and family as it was for me. Wishing you a wonderful night and an even better day tomorrow.
Happy Valentines day!!!!!!!!!!!!
Later
