baby boomers at perfect age
the baby boomers are retiring! – oh my goodness i am one of them! and i will be 60 years of age really soon – somehow that does not seem possible the years have flown by so fast – i remember as a young girl thinking that i would never even get to 30 and that seemed so old and here i am twice that now with grandchildren thinking that 30 is so old – it is interesting that each age i am at seems to be the perfect age and it does keep getting better – i spend time with my daughters with their extremely busy lives of careers and raising families – i recall the high stress of those times and of hardly ever having a spare moment for myself and the juggling of all the facets of my life and wondering when i would ever get to sit down for an uninterrupted cup of tea – i see that they seem to thrive on that high pace and are inspired to accomplish incredible feats in so many arenas and even a cup of tea and an occasional chapter in some ‘recreational reading’ – i admire my children’s generation and even though there are so many more things to juggle than when i was their age the majority still manage to keep their priorities and enjoy the precious moments they carve out for family – we’ll talk again about the moments carved out for we baby boomers – similar to the swan gliding softly upon the water visiting those who have the time to say hello – until then

feeling at home at my children’s
it is so lovely being at my daughters’ homes and feeling at home – my arrival is announced with shouts of glee ‘grandma is here’ and a shower of hugs and kisses and being led to view all the things that are new since my last visit – with husbands and children and pets and very busy lives there is always a buzz of activity in the air and there is never a shortage of things to give a helping hand with – the constancy of feeding and clothing the families provides the opportunity of sharing in the food preparations and the doing of dishes and the folding of mountains of laundry – when the tasks are all done the bonding is completed with a walk or some games or a good movie … upon leaving i feel very loved and appreciated and take home lovingly prepared things and the satisfaction of having lightened the load and shared the bonds of familial love … i am reminded of similar visits from my mother and how much she was loved and appreciated and how important she still is at 93 to myself and my children and my grandchildren

valentine day of the heart
HAPPY VALENTINE’S
this is a day which many associate with heart
conversations on this topic will be many
thoughts will revolve around LOVE
the greatest gift on the planet
to give LOVE is the highest
the giving of LOVE bestows LOVE upon the giver
and
the receiving of LOVE perpetuates the giving
open up the heart
to give and to receive
be mindful of the gifts LOVE brings
be conscious of the most powerful LOVE affair of all
the one with Self
i look forward to the ‘conversations of the heart’ that the future holds – this website is evolving and i step out this day to greet the world – one heart at a time
