Where did the time go? It's 2013. I'll be 74 next month. I'm old. I feel it. So much has happened in my life that could make me sad, but I'll be damned if I will let it. The fact that my family has no time for me, nor is interested in my welfare, or wasn't there when I needed them ... no, I'll be damned if I will let them take away my joy of waking every morning and doing the best I can with the day God has given me. It's not always easy. But I'm a survivor. And stubborn. Thanks, Mom, for giving me those gifts. I know now that's how it was for you the last years of your life. And if you can survive it and thrive and keep a smile on your face, well then, so can I.
I admit I don't know what I'm doing here, but let's see what happens.
Oh! Here's the love of my life these days! Roxie came into my life about a year-and-a-half ago. She's 12 now. We're a couple of old ladies trying to make the most of the winter of our lives.
