June 2011

So here we are 1/2 way through 2011 and I continue to share my happenings as if I'm writing a book. I have to tell you that I've enjoyed sharing my thoughts a lot more than what I originally thought I would when I began. I originally had the plan to blog so that I would remember what all happened in my life every month. I loved the fact that every time I read my sisters blog about what my nephews were up to you it brought me a little closer to knowing who they were and what kind of boys they were growing up to be. I enjoy reading and hearing about what is happening in their lives. I enjoy blogging as it gives you a sense of where you are at, what you have done and what you still want to do. Another reason i starting blogging was to focus on my bucket list = all the things that you want to do before you are no longer on this earth. I have thought a lot of what seems to be missing in my life, or what I should, could, would be doing... and it boils down to I'm happy with the way my life has turned out. I'm happy with who I get to share it with and I wouldn't change a thing. I awake every morning thankful for what I have, and for the people that get to share it with me. My grand daughter is the most precious thing in this world and enjoy watching her grow and change. June is all about birthdays - the beginning was Joe's but unfortunately Joe hasn't been seen or heard from since christmas so we were not able to celebrate with him. Isabella and I were off on more adventures travelling to celebrate my sisters 50th birthday - thought I'd be brave and take Isabella camping for a few days. The first night was not so good but the other evening was better and needless to say it was a great celebration and even surprised my sister by having my parents and other sister drop by for a few hours. It worked out great that it was father's day as well so we were all together. The end of June the girls went for family pics so am really looking forward to seeing how beautiful my girls are. Well that's it for now and I guess we will see what July has in store for us. Can you say fun, family and vacation....

January 2010

So here goes, it's 2010 and I have created a blog. I have wanted to blog for awhile but just wasn't sure on what I really wanted to say. My older sister has been blogging for awhile and always look forward to reading the latest happenings in her life. My reason for blogging is just to share some thoughts, or maybe remember my own thoughts of what is happening in my life throughout the year. I will begin to add favorite photos and collections that I enjoy. If anyone would like to say hi please feel free.

November 2013

I want to be remembered as someone that was there. I mean available. I love to create memories with my grand child. I have read many posts recently about memories of loved ones that have now passed. I struggle with my memories, as I can't recall a lot of childhood memories with my grandparents, or cousins since I didn't spend a lot of time with them growing up. Both my parents relatives lived a distance away. I hear of others recall memories of their childhood and the time they spent with others with gratitude. When I think back on my past I have feelings of sadness and missed opportunities. I look at my grand daughter and hope that she remembers the trips we took, the time we laughed playing silly games, reading stories and knows that it was time well spent and worth remembering. I shed tears for the children that don't have memories of a happy childhood and for parents and grand parents that missed opportunities to laugh, live and be loved...

I know, I know, I'm posting and haven't posted since July. I don't know why. I do know why....I feeel like my blogs are the same...i have been so preoccupied with other things that I haven't taken the time as I should to dedicate to my blog. I apologize..this was really something that I wanted to keep up with at this stage of my life to keep me on track with the day to day things that were happening. I forget sometimes that life has a way of taking over and one day rolls into one week, one month, and so on. My plate really isn't that full, but my thoughts about other things that aren't important are taking over from what is really important. I'm hoping that 2013 will see me reflecting more on the "what's important to me". So since July let's see if I can't recall what has been happening in my "busy" life. It seems the summer has come and gone with a flash. My dear friend lost her brother to cancer and it was a very hard time...
