I like My Life Right Now........

I can honestly say I like my life. I am older and I am alone but I have really gotten to where I like my alone time. It gets lonely sometimes. And sometimes I look back on my life when I had a house full and I do miss that. We all have to go thru that. We all have to adjust. It is harder for some than others. I have always been able to adjust to what I have too.  Except when I moved to Sweetwater. It was hard for me to adjust to small town life after living in the big city. But I am a small town girl and I know before I am done I will one day be back.

Right now I am just living in the moment . I love my house here. It is only 12 years old and this is the longest I have lived in a house . My Dad moved around a lot. Mostly from Sweetwater to Brownwood but sometimes we were in Longworth and Hamlin and other places. I miss that sometimes but again it is nice to be in the same place for a long time.

It is nice to live close to some of my grandkids and kids. It is nice to get up every morning and sit around. Get online. Read the morning paper. Just do what I want to do. My family room is so nice. I have three sets of patio doors . I sit out there and look outside. Enjoy the view and think.

If I get too lonely I can bring some of my grandkids over. I really don't think I need a man in my life anymore. I know there are some good men out there but I guess I didn't have one of them. After that last one I believe I will just live alone.

At least I do what I want too. If I decide to go somewhere I go. I do miss having someone to go to movies with or out to eat. I got friends but most of them don't live very close. I just started talking to one of my friends I had lost contact with. She lives in Wyoming right now. I have known her since she was in her late twenties and I was in my early 40's. Now I am 70 and she is 55. That is amazing we are that old now! But I am just glad I made it this long. So many of my friends didn't. I treasure and enjoy every day .

Back when I was forty after the fire happened and I was pregnant and just discovered I had Mitral Valve Prolapse I often wondered if I would live to see Jana grow up. Now she is 31 and I am still here. I think I got my Dad's genes and he lived to be 92. I am enjoying my life....
