Thoughts

As I sit here in the early morning hours, (6:06a) and thinking about today I wonder and ask myself ~ what is going on with my life? I’m 67 years old (and do I feel OLD)…I feel like I am just existing and not doing that very well.

I have been married for almost 50 years ~ how can that be? But it’s true 1975 to 2025 = 50 years!! Oh how so many told us, even from the beginning “it won’t last” but here we are, preparing to celebrate 50 years of marriage. We are blessed beyond measure: a good and strong marriage, 2 strong and healthy young (sons) men with their own families. Both hold good jobs and provides well for their families. Two daughters-in-love, at least that’s what I call them, and 5+ grands: M & M, living their best life, living in Colorado, doing jobs they love, O, already 17 – hard to believe that little 1 lb 15 oz little girl is in high school, loves her animals and smiles often. C, just turned 17, preparing to travel this summer, planning a college career and in the top of his class. T who will be 14 this year – full of antics and such a literal thinker, who loves soccer and basketball, and truly a middle child as he loves to aggravate his brothers, and bringing up the rear is A~ a firecracker in his own right, is in to weightlifting, basketball and soccer but most of all loves to read. I often think of something my mom told me so many years ago: IF you can read, you can go anywhere in the world!

But once again, I digress…where am I today and how am I? I hurt all the time, the last six months I have been dealing with lots of shoulder and arm pain

And just like that 20 minutes have passed and I need to head out the door for work…be back tonight or tomorrow.
