Teary eyes on the porch...

Back home after three weeks of travel. It feels good. I'm catching up on my 60 second writer posts...I read some old ones, brought tears to my eyes. My minutes are so heartfelt. Looking back on my blog also reminds me of this good life I have. Such lovely people warm my heart. My grands are so sweet and loving. The look on those little faces when they see Gran...the tears when I leave. I remember being a nine year old and saying, " When I grow up I want to be an old lady." Well here I am and I must say it has been so much fun!

I was prompted to write...

The prompt was age. I am 58 years old, I'll be 59 next month. I feel 35 tops 40 years old. It is only when I see a new photo of myself or catch a glimpse of myself in a window or mirror that I realize I have aged. I feel so good physically but it is more than that...I feel good emotionally. My children are grown and have made good lives for themselves. I have the time to put myself first, to do the things I love to do, photography, reading, sewing and sitting on my porch. My grandchildren have given me the chance to experience birth, babies nd children all over again. I loved raising my girls but I was so busy making a life and worrying about properly developing character in my girls that I felt like my life went by in a blink. This time I savor every moment spent with my sweet babies. It feels so good to just enjoy each moment. Aging hs been good for me.
