I'm 55

 I aged when I wasn't paying attention!

When I turned sixteen I was given a drivers license. At eighteen, my friends and I were hitting the clubs and could legally drink and vote. At fifty five I have all that plus much more. In fact, I just found out from my sister in Tucson that Albertsons and Frys offer 10% discounts on Wednesdays - Bring on the discounts!

My age has never has meant much to me simply because I have never put much thought into aging - there's more important things in life for me to think about, but I must admit I'm excited to embark on being a Senior Citizen. Admittedly, I have learned a few things over the years. Such as, there is truth to the saying with age comes wisdom. I understand what "life is a journey, enjoy the ride" really means now. I know that life is something more meaningful than money, and I know that there is purpose in life. I know that I should always be thankful for being blessed with another day regardless of what kind of day it is.I also know that for all I went through in my life, I wouldn't want to change it - because that's how I became me.

Here's to a new journey and a new chapter!



Peace, love & hugs!

How's Your Sleep

OMG Facts tweeted yesterday that you can survive days without eating but will live 11 days from not sleeping.  http://www.omg-facts.com/  I'm teetering on being sleep deprived at the moment. My 2 year old granddaughter has been staying the night and she won't sleep in her room.  She is a 2 year old that is the height of most 4 year olds, and she sleeps horizontally. It's not bad the nights that I get her head in my chest, but when its a night of the feet and getting kicked... forget about it. No sleep! I did some research and of course there has always been pros and cons about children sleeping in the same bed. Dr. Phil is opposed to it  - one of his reasons is it can cause regressive behavior.  http://drphil.com/articles/article/114  Personally I disagree - I loved having my kids by me and saw no side effects from it. They knew that they were always welcome in my bed, so naturally the same rule goes for the grandkids. It's just this is the first time having a littl

My Ministry

Yesterday was baby shower day for my daughter! It was a great time with friends and family. I'm so thankful for my Tucson family that always manages to join our family gatherings. Thank you!  I sustain myself with the love of family. -Maya Angelou It will be the tenth grandchild for my husband and I -which is leading me to believe the pastor that pulled me out of a crowd 26 years ago to tell me that I was going to have a ministry of children was correct. Looking back at my life I now tend to think that perhaps his prophecy was right on track since I seem to always have a ministry of children closely connected to me on my journey. I would have never guessed this would be my life, but I'm thankful for all the young souls that I've touched. For me that's what life is all about - touching lives and leaving an imprint on their hearts. Peace, Love & Hugs!
