The Beginning

Well, I'm going to give this a try... again.  The Blog thing, to test my theory that no one really gives a hoot...  so lets see if anyone follows me!

You know, lately I find that what I'm doing with my life is less interesting to most people than what they are doing with their lives.  That's probably the way things should be, always are and always have been, but when I was younger I thought everybody was interested in what I was up to. What I was wearing, where I went, if my hair was a mess or my shoes were the "right" ones for work, for hanging out with my crowd.  But how come it took me 61 years to realize I'm not the most important person in the world? 

Then again, why do I care? 

Did I say yet--I have two (a third on the way) hilarious, warm, huggy, beautiful grandchildren who light up my life. When you are with a two year old who looks at you with eyebrows clamped down and one hand on hip, the other one pointed at me and says, "Don't you look at me Gamma".  I just crack up.  The hugs come later.  This is pure, unadulterated joy.  But more about them in a future blog.

So anyway, maybe this is the time of life that I become less interesting to most people, and must become even more interesting to myself.  That way, every time I wake up and look in the mirror I can smile knowing the day holds many interesting activities, and happy events.  Events like, hmmmm finishing the book I started two months ago, completing knitting my grandson's sweater, taking a careful walk in the snow (so I don't break any more bones) or just sitting quietly and planning the next day. 

You know, we, none of us, really know what comes next, so .......

Aren't you just excited to read more..... Please come back soon.
