Carole, Liz, P, Ican and Laura for your wonderful and encouraging posts. I had such a great time with my Grandkids and met my new Granddaughter who is adorable. I feel so blessed to have been given these three grandchildren to love. I know that I miss so much of the fun stuff as we don’t live close to them. I do so treasure the time we do get to spend with them. Christmas was as it should be with two boys 3 and 6 totally wonderful. I find for me I get so much joy watching them as they open their presents. We were able to go and watch the 3 year olds at his skating lesson which is a real treat for us. We also got to watch our 6 year old play hockey which was awesome. It is so much fun to be able to be involved in their activities. I love the excitement and joy that children bring to our life. I loved holding our 2 month old granddaughter in my arms. I really needed the break and although the kids are active it was a truly relaxing break and just what I needed. We had a couple of days we were snowed in and it was just fantastic to be able to relax and spend time with our grandkids, our son and daughter-in-law.
My spirit feels renewed and I feel so much more relaxed than I did a few weeks ago. It is always tough when we have to leave them and come home. I know when we retire we will be able to spend a month or two with them. I went back to work today, but I felt so much more relaxed and happy. I know that I need to get started working on our house again, but I will take it one day at a time and I will get there. I know that if I change my attitude and take it one day at a time I will get the decluttering of the basement done. Hubby has a really bad flu just now. He has gone from not being able to get warm to being too hot and he is aching all over. I feel bad for him. I have a work function to go to tomorrow evening and he was going with me, but I am not going to press him and will just go by myself if I have to. It is no fun to go out when you are feeling so bad. Also the weather here is absolutely freezing right now. It is the coldest December we have had for a century. I hope that January is not like this. All you do is rush from your house to the garage to get in your car, drive to where you are going and rush in to the shop or building you are going to. I wonder why we moved to a climate like this. I think as I have got older it bothers me more. It’s strange how as you get older everything seems to bother you more LOL
I have been trying to read and catch up on your pages, but I thought I would do an update on my page as I have not posted for a while, and I don’t have time to catch up on everyone’s page right now. I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas and I wish you a Health and Prosperous New Year!!!!
