I Miss.....

I MISS MY GIRLS. I miss spending time with Emily. We used to spend more time together, but since her life changed and my job changed, we just don't spend much time together anymore. I miss that she used to live so close, now she lives 15 minutes away and sometimes that feels like 15 hours. I miss Jessica. I haven't seen her in a year because I had to wait a whole year to get vacation time. Talking to her on the phone is good, but spending time with her is the best.

I MISS MY GRAND KIDS. I used to see the grand kids frequently because they lived closer to me. I don't see them as much now since they moved. I am so looking forward to seeing them this Saturday. In one month from today I get to see my granddaughter, Caroline and I can hardly wait. If I had my way, we would all live in the same neighborhood and I would see them all the time.

I MISS HAVING A MAN IN MY LIFE. For just a little while there I thought it was finally going to work out for me, but no, just another let down. I miss having someone care about me, someone to hug and kiss. Maybe it's time to try again, but I feel like I have to wait until I become better, thinner, more tan, more together. I am going to try again, I think I just have to 'go for it' and be prepared to kiss a lot of frogs once again.

I'm Blessed

There are days when I get discouraged and down and feel like life is too hard and then I stop and think. I have so much to be thankful for. Almost a year ago I got a new job, one that allowed me to move into a place of my own. There hasn't been one day that I haven't walked around my apartment and been so happy to have my little place. It isn't a mansion, and it's not the fanciest place, but I just love my little place. I just switched my bedroom and crop room and I am so happy with the results. It's nice to have such a sweet crop space.

The thing I am most thankful for how ever is my grand kids. They are a huge blessing in my world. Sometimes Jessica and Emily send me videos of the kids and it makes my day. I hear the little ones laughing and it makes me laugh too. I also love to hear my 'little girls' (Jessica and Emily) laughing along with their kids in the videos. Emily sent a video the other day of Vivian. It was the sweetest video. I laughed so hard I cried. I know anytime I get depressed all I have to do is watch this video, and my mood will be instantly lifted. Here is the link to the video.

Grandkids

I'm getting ready to go and see Emily's little ones. I can't wait. I haven't seen them in awhile and I miss them so much. We are celebrating Easter this weekend since they will be gone next weekend. We'll be hiding eggs and dying eggs. This is going to be so much fun. I'll add photos later of all the fun!
