Everyday life.

No. I'm not famous. I'm not beautiful. I'm not a fashion Diva with money to spend. I'm a wife, mother, grandmother. I am loving this life and I am so glad that I don't have to live in a big city and deal wth all the commotion. I am extremely happy that I can walk outside and sit under my tree, in my sweats or pjs if I want to. I can listen to the birds or walk around the town and see people I know and love to be with.
I just got back from my granddaughters state track meet and I have been reflecting on life and what different people want out of it. I decided that I am just fine where I am. I don't need fancy anythings to make me happy. It is the times spent with family and friends that make it worth it. If I was busy trying to climb the social or professional ladder, I wouldn't have time to do the simple things in life. I guess that is why I am how I am. I like Simple. I like slow moving. I like getting involved with whatever the kids are interested in at the time. I don't need exotic vacations, expensive jewels, top line clothing. Give me jeans and a tee, I'm fine with that.
I'm glad there are all types of people out there. That is what makes the world go round. I say, if you want the fast life, go for it. Just let me be me and I will enjoy life the way I know it and want it to be.
Our home, Our town, Our State.... It's all I ever wanted in this life. Security and a loving family. I have that. I'm happy.

I am always amazed at the feelings I get when my babies and my grandbabies are born. It is an instant love. I felt this love when I carried my own, but it seems as I age, it gets stronger. I look at these tiny miracles and wonder how one so tiny can evoke such strong feelings. It is complete acceptance and overwhelming gratitude for these special additions to our family. With our newest addition, it hit me even stronger. I held her for the first time when she was a day old, and it took me some time to control the tears that I could feel forming in my heart. We are so blessed to have our grandchilden. I cannot even begin to express the love I have for them all. Mothers love is strong, but I think grandma's love is immense. I am so glad that I was able to have my six children, and that they are able to experience the same feelings. To each of them, I say thank-you, for letting me be a part of their lives, for consenting to bring children on earth, so that I can experience this happiness. I love you all!
