This year I am going to make an effort to post something each week. Maybe that will give me a sense of where my time is actually going.
Our family continues to grow and the grandkids are growing up much too fast. Oldest one is in his first year of college and the youngest just turned three. The other nine are scattered in between and we are waiting on another grandson to be born in a few months. Children makes you realize that a part of you goes. In looking at family pictures I see glimpse of grandparents and great grandparents past.
At seventy years old my husband and I are now orphans. Losing his mother just a few weeks ago. It's strange, but as long as you have a parent you remain a child in lots of ways. There wasn't a feeling of grief. She was 91 years and was ready to go. As a matter of fact she was getting very irritated because she couldn't go. I just hope when my time comes I will be able to meet it head on the way she did.
My goal this year is to try to get back in touch with things that I enjoy. Make myself become more active. Take care of my health. Drag out the paints. Organize my house. Try to become a better wife, mother and person.
