A New Day, A New Life



Mother's Day was spent with our dear son, his wife and their children. We watched a great soccer game, and then came to our home to swim and visit. We talked about so many things...how the kids have grown so much and so quickly, how the baby would be coming so soon for our other son and his wife and what it is like to be grandparents. It is one of the great joys of life. We get to give all of the love, get as many hugs and kisses as we want and then send them home!! We get to watch our children parent...what a joy that is. It is truly the fruit of our parenting that comes out when our children parent. We can see how they handle things differently and how right they might be. We watch the children respond, and know that all is well in their world.

Today we had another joyful day. Our second son's wife gave birth to their second child, a robust 8 pound 1 ounce boy. No name yet!

It was wonderful to receive the information immediately from them along with pictures! How times have changed.

And aren't we lucky!

Enough Is Enough!


News Broadcaster clipart
Have you noticed how absolutely terrible the news has been lately? Well I have and I have decided that enough is enough. No news is good news. Why should I spend my time listening to "news porn" when I could be doing something productive? The talking heads on the news channels seem to be extra delighted when a devastating event occurs...it gives them more time to talk. And speculate. And say things that are tucked inside their heads that will keep you addicted to the story.

So I am concentrating on something different. I am going to teach myself a new language. No, wait. I will learn to make a better mousetrap. Hold it! I can try my hand at a souffle or perhaps a flan. Yes, that's it. That's the ticket. A flan. Then I can eat it. While I watch the news. Arggggg.....

Talk, Talk, Talk!

                                         


Yesterday, I was the guest on an internet radio show, "Be a Healthy Caregiver." It was fun, and I hope informative.
