Lately so much has been happening to make me really realize that I am getting old.
Me? Old? They say age is only a number but there really does come a time when you see "times are a changin".
So many of my family and friends are facing issues of their own, it is hard to see this and know it is around the corner for all of us, all to soon.
I miss the times of my friends.
I miss my children, small and wanting to be with me.
I miss my sister.
I miss my girlfriend Linda.
But I have never been one to give up, just stand up Linda and keep moving, quote from Dad.
I am doing this.
Trying to still find things to do that make me happy.
I read, crochet, sew and it just is not enough.
Circumstances have made it impossible for us to travel,
but I can handle that. We find enough things to do that we do together without much cost.
We go to antique stores, we have a dog who we adore, we live for the times spent with our kids,
we go to museums and different events.
Someone told me once I was a jealous person,
that hurt me,
I am not
If I was I would truly be unhappy.
Simple things make me happy,
when a room is painted, a ride, looking at the water,
a beautiful sunrise, sunset, my children, a good book.
God has been good to me, he helped me accomplish what I truly wanted to do for my children, and I finely found the man in my life that is true, loving and kind to me.
What else do I need?
A person would not be lying to say that they wish their "bucket list" would have had some times but "our fate is in our stars"
and I accept that.
I have truly enjoyed reconnecting with some old school friends, made me remember my times as a teenager were truly great, and it is because of them that this happened
Now as I lean into the sunset, I set my sights on peace and joy in Jerry and my lives. Not riches, just happiness and love.
