My future is at hand!

My three granddaughters are here from Arizona. What a gift they are to me! They are the future of our family, and I have the pleasure of teaching them some of the ways of living life from another perspective. It is like folk lore! Except we don't sit around the fire smoking peace pipes, instead we sit together cuddled on the couch and just talk about "things". It happens so naturally, as I brush their hair, and as we eat meals together. I look at this as an honor to be able to pass on to the next generation all that I can so that they can use these "tools" to help them when they get older and have to face so many challenges, and complicated decisions to deal with. Society and life in general can take away the innocence, I want them to know that it is okay to keep that part of yourself safe and alive no matter what life throws at you. We all have a choice of how we can let life change who we really are inside. They are good listeners!

Today we may either go to the butterfly place or pick strawberries, and then head for the beach in the afternoon. I have to check with them first, I like to give them a choice, this way everyone is happy.

Fly be free, that's me!

Breathe the fresh air and not worry about the little things. That's my motto! I am thankful for good friends and a good life. Things are going good since I retired. It's amazing at how easily I adjusted to not having to go to work each day.

I just have to get used to managing my income with my output. That should be fun!
