It's been a long time since............

Wow...I look at the date of my last blog and wonder where the time went?  Well, actually, that's a strange thing to say because I know exactly where it has gone.  Time has been passing quickly, slowly, happily, and miserably.  So much has happened...birth and death of grandchildren and other loved ones. 

I have grown older, but I have also grown wiser.  So many changes is what is actually a short time.  I do have new outlooks on many things...good and bad.  I am not an authority on anything.  I do not have freebies to share.  I just have life experiences that I want to share.  It's like when I was teaching school...if I help one, then I succeed.

I do know I want to share learning experiences with any who wish to read.  I am just me...a wife, mother, Gigi, friend, daughter, SIDS statistic...and so much more...I am a loving person. 

Made me think of my mother

I was looking through pictures at Free Digital Photos looking for a picture of a penguin when I saw the birds on the feeder. It reminded of my

mother, so my blog took on a different subject.

My mother, what can I say, she is a speciman of the perfect mother.....kind, loving, caring, helping, sharing, and the list goes on. She is the epitemy of a good person. If anyone has enjoyed life, it's her. Life at times was not easy, but she came through the down times with the spirit of an athlete. She doesn't give up, and she puts her all in everything she does. Her children, grandchildren, and grandchildren have all benefited from her love, strength, and devotion.

Well, I digress, the picture made me think of her because she loves sitting on her porch, watching the birds feed. I think that is her private place that we all need to go just be aware of ourselves. The place where we get in touch with our thoughts, and the place we can just enjoy. Wherever my mom is, she is getting the most out of life that she can.
