Here I go. I'm a little nervous, having never blogged before. I love to talk, so what am I afraid of. Blogging is like talking, right, except I get to dominate the conversation and only talk about the things that interest me. My husband would say, "what's new?!" He's funny like that.
Seven days and counting until we leave for vacation. Can I hear an amen?? Not that I don't love my job but a week away at the beach, even the Texas beach, seems like a week in heaven to me. We will be staying in a cottage this time. We have stayed in a small motel, condo, house on stilts, and this time, a cottage. Life will be laid back for seven days and seven nights (fingers crossed).
On this long weekend, I am doing what most grandmothers, that's right- I said grandmothers, enjoy doing. Tonight I have my son's two children (girl, 4 and boy, 1) for the night and tomorrow my daughter's two daughter's (6 and 5) for the night. I love them all to pieces. My daughter also has two sons (2 and 11 months) but I don't think they're ready to be too far from mom and dad. All that being said, I have to make the statement that they are the most beautiful grandchildren in the world, you have my word on it. I also have two other children (another daughter and son) besides the aforementioned, a son-in-law, daughter-in-law, and the possibility of another son-in-law. All of these individuals bring joy to my life. I love them dearly.
There is one who makes my life complete. I met him 33 years ago and married him a year later. He makes me laugh and sometimes makes me cry. We talk, argue, laugh, complain, and love day after day and it never gets old. I hope to have many more years with him, enshallah (if God wills it). For everyone who finds their life boring and their marriage stale, stop waiting for something wonderful to happen. Grab your mate by the hand and make it happen. Your husband/wife are probably feeling just like you. Go for it. God gives us only one life and it passes so quickly that we have to make every moment count.
Those are my thoughts, such as they are for today.
God bless.
