Peaceful Moments

My Favorite Quote About Life

happiness is a journey, not a destination...
for a long time it seemed to me
that life was about to begin --real life,
but there was always some obstacle in the way,
something to be gotten through first,
some unfinished business,
time still to be served, a debt to be paid.
at last it dawned on me
that these obstacles were my life.
this perspective has helped me to see
there is no way to happiness.
happiness is the way.
so treasure every moment you have
and remember that time waits for no one.

Mother's Day is in just a few days. I have dreaded this day longer than any other -- my friend Vicki and I are going through our first mothers day without ours, its hard to celebrate -- so I am trying to take the focus off of this day because I don't want my girls to feel this way when when it's their turn to go through this; one day I won't be here. We are having a nice dinner on Saturday -- family time-- and I'm going to brunch with a friend on Sunday, she and I can talk about our mothers and cry if we want to and we will be ok.

A lot has happened since my last post -- I turned 51, wooo-hooo, my grand boy is now two, and my baby girl got engaged to her high school sweetheart.
So, big plans and crazy days are ahead for us.

What a day!

As all of you know, I am usually the one singing "let it snow, let it snow, let it snow"! Except tonight, I was in Green Hills shopping and unaware of what was happening where I live. It took me close to an hour to get home from my work (that is where my car was). The closer I got to home the worse the roads were. I slid several times and got stuck once. Here are some pics!

I got to watch my boy last night -- as I was preparing to put him to bed, he would tell me "I need anudder book nana -- finally after about 9 books I told him we would just sit and rock until he was ready to get into bed. We sat and rocked and talked as he drifted off to sleep I put him into bed. What a sweet angel.

Nana's Handsome Boy!


My boy started preschool this year -- it's hard to believe he is almost 2. Where has all the time gone?
