Reflections (31)

I have been in this relationship for six months now and am still very happy. My guy is terrific and is so very good to me and for me. Treats me like I have wanted to be treated all of my life. Sometimes I feel cheated that it took so long for me to find my 'prince' but I know that this is just how my life's path was to be. This man was not in my sphere 30 yrs ago so there was no way to meet him. This is the time in our lives when we were to find each other. Maybe we wouldn't have liked each other when we were younger, not been able to appreciate each other.

I've been thinking a lot lately about the last couple of years and how my life is turning out. For the first time I am glad I am divorced from my ex. We were just not good for each other and it was time to say good bye to a dead relationship. I would have never met my current love if I has stayed in the quicksand of a bad marriage. I was such a different person I barely remember her and I know there are some that would not know me now.The struggle to save a marriage and be the person he wanted me to be had worn me down so far that I am still amazed I was able to come back from the "death" of the marriage. But I was blessed to meet my current man and I am so grateful he has been patient with me and let me grow more in our relationship and now I don't know how I lived without him.

One of my favorite movies is "Shirley Valentine". If you have seen it you will know what I mean when I say, "I fell in love with myself."  I have discovered I am a great person; loving, caring, good looking, very happy and a good mother.

I am blessed and grateful.

Babies Are Us (30)

Update on the new grandchildren. My oldest daughter had her baby girl on Sept 19th. She is very sweet and growing so quickly. My middle child should find out in about 2-3 weeks what gender her baby is and due in mid February. My youngest child is due Jan 11 and is having a boy. How excited I am. So much to get done. I like to make a gift box for keepsakes, a small quilt for the floor and a couple of cross stitch items. So this grandma has a busy several months ahead.

My mother would love all this. She just loved babies and watching them grow and develop. I am excited to be holding the new little ones and seeing them grow. I am very blessed and having fun.
