Hi Sweet Friends
2008
It seems like a lifetime ago
In the weeks leading up to my 50th Birthday
I challenged myself to try new things
Face some fears
And reach for far off dreams
I did Canon Balls in my pool
Played my piano daily
And vowed to stand on the edge
Of the Grand Canyon to see the sun rise
My fear of heights was No match
For my Dream to be their
I did … And so did my husband and sons
It was a time of strength, growing
And JOY
Nothing could stop me from
Embracing a new decade and enjoying life
2018
Life is so different
My husband has been with Jesus for nearly 8 years
My oldest son and his family live in Texas
My youngest son lives away in a group home
I am here … Alone …
Trying to recreate my 50
It's Not The Answer
It's taken me 40 days to realize
That I was trying to recreate a time in my life
But it is Not were I am today
I cannot go back
I cannot recreate
I desperately want to embrace 60
In the same way I did 50
Yet, I am not the same
Nor is my Life
So
I'm done with 60 to 60
I bought myself some flowers
After work yesterday
Just Because
I treated myself to a pedicure today
Just Because
I don't know what the next 20 days hold
I just know, It will be different
It won't be a Joy-Filled journey
To the next decade with my family
But, It Will Be...
