I think I'm finally learning how to appreciate living alone...well...most of the time. I still have my moments of longing for the "love of my life." When I come home from work it's quiet and I have the time to reflect on my day; the good things, the frustrating things, the things I wish I'd done better.
Today's list of good things include...going to work..I do enjoy my job and I work for/with some really amazing people. This year has been a very depressing year...accepting (still working on it) the fact I'm a diabetic and learning a new way of life. I've missed work more days than I should have; but when you're sick...you're sick. My employer has been unbelievably understanding and I deeply appreciate them.
2nd good thing today: my brother's birthday! My brother(Don) is more than a brother to me...he's my hero and always has been. I was born late in my Mother's life..she already had my sister and my brother (Don & Virginia) they were 12 & 17 when I came along. My brother was in the Air Force and later the Army. I never got to see him that much but I loved him with all my heart; he was/is one man who I admire and respect. My childhood was...hmmm..not the greatest and I'll leave it at that...but how I loved that man with the buzz haircut, the Army fatigues and that big, happy smile!
I called him on my way home from work & wished him a happy birthday; I'm so thankful he's still there when I want to talk to him.
3rd good thing today: my granddaughter Hannah, who is 15, got her driver's permit. Yay! Congratulations! wait..15??? wasn't it just yesterday that she was the little girl playing with her dolls, her horse figures? Where does time go...and why can't we call it back?? Wouldn't that be a great option? My Hannah has many nicknames including: Hannie, Penny, Twinkle, Geraldine to name a few. Somewhere I read that "a child who is loved has many names." A very true statement!
Thomas Sewell...I love you more than you will ever know.
Hannah Brooke...ditto the statement above
