How time flies!! As I sit here in my living room in beautiful Colorado, with my husband, dogs and cat, I think I become aware of just how much I have to be thankful for.....even though this has been hard on this ol gal (not an easy task to move from your birthplace at the ripe old age of 56), I do indeed have much to be thankful for. We are getting ready to make a trip up to Wyoming to be the grateful guests at our 6th grandchild's birth....amazing...really...am I THAT old?!!! To have 6 grandchildren?!!! Well....I come from a long line of healthy family.....my grandma was 95 when she passed into that other world....My parents are coming up on 80 and are still riding their motorcycles and driving 10 hours to see us...so it looks like i will be around for a little longer!
I sit here and listen to the music pouring out of my first husbands macbook....i see the 3 pound dog laying atop his comfortable belly....we smell the cool breeze as it blows through our pine trees and wafts into the house that sits atop a hill and overlooks the mountains....we are coming up on one of the most important anniversaries in our lives....the one that we celebrate our trial and tears of coming through a separation....of our commitment to this love we started over 37 years ago.....we celebrate the peace that accompanies pain......yes....there is much to be thankful for on this late April evening......may you celebrate your life, with all that it entails....and be thankful.....I never in my wildest dreams thought this life would or ever COULD be mine....but it is....I am a MAJOR dreamer and now I know that some of them really do come true.....not like the Hallmark movies, or the happily ever after junk....but the dreams of the heart to be known and to know.....as John Lennon said once in a beautiful song....."Ricko (yoko) and me..and thats reality the dream is over..."
