Life here has been rather busy this week. Not only is it my biggest sewing week of the summer, but Megan and her family were able to make the trip home. It has been so wonderful to be able to see them before they leave for Japan.
Becca threw Megan a "surprise unbirthday" party, seeing as Megan won't be home for her birthday this year. We had a back yard Brat Party that was a huge success. Some new friends and many of the girls' old friends were able to make it, plus of course most of the family.
Megan and her family were able to spend the afternoon with her Grandparents, and then the evening out with Brett and Bobbi before taking in a movie. It was a great break for them.
Watching the kids interact as adults is interesting. It has brought home for me the changes that are my life right now. Landslide.
Cousins playing with and fighting with each other, many of them so close in age, it has been interesting to see how different, and how similar they each are.
Plans made and broken so easily. Feelings that get hurt and I wonder if they ever are mended. You don't understand the pain you cause when you are young and now as I begin to look back on my life, I realize the things that should have, could have,..... should Not have....
I'm not real happy with this stage of my life. Becoming one of the elders without elder status. Being put off and delayed for more interesting venues. So many of us are guilty of doing just that.
Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.
Plant flowers, make your phone calls, keep your promises. Make Fewer Promises!
Say "I Love You" and mean it. Or don't say it
It's almost funny how simple that is, and yet how hard it is to carry through
