The I Wants.....

At the age and time of my life today, the needs/wants i have are free.  Isnt that something?  Look backwards friends......now its free?  crazy, right?
I want to be happy.  I want to be present.  I want to enjoy my family. I want to let go.  I want to see all of my babies gradate from college and find something out there they truly love to do and even make a few bucks doing it.  I would love to see a few more of my grand babies born, though if i am only blessed to see one; i am grateful. I want to continue working on my relationship with my savior. (apparently, i do not listen enough, shocker)  I want to wake up and go to sleep next to the same person. I want to work in a vegetable garden and wear silly hats.  Mostly, i want to laugh.  I want to laugh a lot. 

Like few, i enjoy getting older and the lessons i have learned and are now able to teach.  The biggest for me, is how very short it is.  Dont blink.

p.s.  i have not given up on that trip to Italy with my family.  But i have come to realize that looking in my own windows has been a ride of a lifetime and now the joy of my heart.

Parenthood vs teenagers

So, today was a kids win, parents over whelmed day.  I'm not stupid.  I know they are our creations from the environments we raised them in.  But, wow. .. Were we this disrespectful, ungrateful, entitled? 
How about that playing the parents against each other at this age? 
Thank God we can't eat our young (most mammals can) and we love them. 
I never wanted girls because of my own relationship with my mom and hers with her mom.  I was very scared of history.  We have the most beautiful girls.  Now this history?
Maybe we can't hide from it?
Just another day in paradise. .......
Tomorrow is another day.....
