wow, can't believe it has been a year, since my last post, where does the time go? anyhoo, keeping busy! 3 grandkids now! Lost a brother in February, very heartbreaking, diagnosed in oct and gone in Feb. Also lost an uncle in nov. of 2011 and an Aunt in January, and grieved with friends who lost their son (20?), unable to comprehend (thankfully) what they are going thru! My bff lost her father, and it has been really hard, on a good note she also has a new grandchild a beautiful little girl.
My grandchildren are amazing, 2 toddlers and an infant, sweetest, cutest, smartest, most beautiful children, and no I am not the least bit biased, too me that is exactly how I feel:) This is one of the most amazing aspects of aging for me, is to experience grandchildren, you hear so many negative aspects of aging.
Love, love, love, just hanging out with friends and family, watching the little ones and watching their parents care for them, laughter, memories, the privilege of being surrounded and supported by a loving God, friends and family.

family
Greetings!
with family tonight, have not spent a lot of time with siblings in my lifetime, due to age difference and different life stages, but now we are all feeling our years and time together although limited is important, so odd to see my mothers ankles in my brothers feet, to hear them laugh over the silliest thing, its funny that we all find the same thing amusing, realize that i have really missed out on time with them, even though our current life styles are all different, we still relax and enjoy spending time together talking and memories and laughter, may i remember to keep my ears and eyes wide open and my mouth tightly shut, that words spoken are considered before uttered, others perceive so differently! To remember that in-laws don't have all of these memories and to always include them as much as possible, even if just a quiet conversation in another area of the room!

- Good Night! Be Kind Treat others the way you like to be treated! Give people the benefit of the doubt, you may be totally unaware of stress and strife in their life!

Hi!
Hello,
This is my blog, I have chosen to be anonymous, so all my posts will be signed "summer"
I love to talk, always realize afterwards that I probably hurt someone, not by carelessness or intention, just different people perceive things differently, so that is the reason for depersonalizing here.
Late in the evening as usual, one of my worst habits, so not too much here tonight.
If no person ever reads my blog, it is ok, this is a way for me to de-stress, readers are welcome, and if my ramblings are useful to anyone else, that is great!
Reminder to self:
ears open-mouth shut
Thankful for all the everyday blessings i either overlook or whine about.
Get to bed on time! Sleep is important! Good Night
