So, here I am in 2008, I just turned 55 and to me that is a huge milestone. I was scared to turn 50, that's when my dad died, but after living through that year, I decided I'd do my best to grow old, but not without a fight. I want to run through meadows and pick flowers, wade in icy cold stream, sing at the top of my lungs, even though I sound awful. I want to write to my hearts content, read, eat ice cream at midnight, I know it's not healthy. I want to dance more, love more, laugh tons more, and let my creativity out. I have so many ideas floating around in my brain of things to do and see and enjoy. Yes, kids I do still have a functioning brain.
Here it is 8:00 on a Sunday night. I'm missing my Al and wishing he were here to hug. I think having him gone on weekends is the hardest. I know he's enjoying life on the road.
I'm writing a melodrama and having a blast with it. It will be presented for twice in April and I'm very excited. My goal now is to finish writing a Christmas story and get it published and to learn to play the piano. My son taught me how to rip and burn music last night and it was a joy to put a small portion of the music I love together. Yeah...something new learned and it's only January 13th.
Some of the things that make me..ME are books, music, and absolute love for flowers and gardening, the pleasure I get from nature, my wonderful family of five, four great son in laws, and ten adorable grandkids and My husband of 35 years. I also love popcorn, licorice, Spanish food and halibut. We have a super dog who is small, feisty and so much fun, we call her Miss Ellie.
Anyway, it's been theraputic to do a bit of writing and to anyone who read this...take time to look at the sky, dance a little each day and smile at strangers. Grandma Vic
