Blink and weeks go by.
Is it age that reminds us how quickly time goes by? Was it youth that gave us those days when
tomorrow never entered our minds? I’ve experienced both and I must admit, age
has crept up on me and slapped me into the reality that life is flying by. Kids are grown. Grandkids
also growing faster than I care to admit.
And then there is my life.
Isn’t that what this blog is truly about. ME! I am eeking along figuring this thing called
life, one day at a time. No morbid
reflection here, but looking back I can see parts of my life were just crazy
and running wide open. Then when life
settled down, I knew everything was just the way it was supposed to be (in my
eyes). All the dots lined up. And then they didn’t. I admitted to someone (outloud) the other day
that I had been single almost 9 years.
Just hearing that took me aback. But,
again, this isn’t about whoa is me………. Poor
baby. It’s about honest self
appraisal. Taking a GOOD look around and
by God accepting who I am, where I am.
Hey, now that sounds inspirational!
The therapy lady has me reading an awfully arduous
book. The kind you hate to pick up, let
alone read. The title doesn’t matter but
the subject matter is supposed to open my eyes to some ‘things’. Jeez
more ‘things’… just what I wanted, but probably what I need.
The days are getting shorter quickly. I have probably blogged about the dreaded ‘fall’
season. The season that was my
favorite. Now, here I am coming up again
on the pumpkins, falling leaves, smells that I adore but leave me sad. Maybe this will be the year that I allow all
that negativity to fall off me and breath in the sights and sounds of a
marvelous time of year. My precious ‘S’
plays in the marching band at school so there will be lots of football games to
watch. How fun! Lots of bdays in the last 3 months of the
year. And lets not forget ALABAMA
football. Which totally consumes us
during these months too.
Lots to be grateful for.
And I am. I still chuckle and
smile and allow that warmth of contentment swallow me when I look around the
condo and know that I truly am blessed.
