How many times have I begun to write another blog and find myself never finishing the task? Sometimes I think it's a pattern that I've developed out of fear of being judged and ridiculed. But...after freeing myself from one last chain, I'm trying to recreate a pattern that can make my self-conscience and my self-confidence grow. So.........I guess now is good place to start.
So much has happened since our last chat. Retirement for both myself and husband.....bought a house.....packed belongings for the move and unpacked in new home after complete overhaul of the inside.........son engaged.......40th wedding anniversary surprise party........cleared outside property.........dug up and replanted borders and herb garden........all the while doing childcare for my adoring grandchildren. We have had some time for ourselves.....going to Williamsburg, Va with a side trip to Monticello and Mt. Vernon. All was so relaxing and funfilled. Because of this time spent with the love of my life, I think I'm going to really enjoy our retired life together. It is said that if you can't find anything to talk about during the busiest parts of a family life with children....other than children.......then when retirement comes, there will be nothing to talk about but the weather. One word of advice, stay friends and share with your spouse cause when the kids leave, all you have is each other.
Cleared the herb garden again today. Noticed so many butterflies and bees gathering the nectar from the flowering herbs. How blessed I am to have such a beautiful life, a beautiful yard and the ability to get outside to enjoy the fresh air and savor the mystery of nature. God is awesome!!!
