Oh what a difference a year can make!

What a difference a year can make in your life, today I am in the throws of an unbelievable life change.  Divorce.  So who would expect this at 62 years old, but I have been replaced by a much younger model.  Three weeks ago he was caught, couldn't deny it, he tried but the fact that he is in love, so he says in his declaration I found in his e-mail, he couldn't deny it for long, when I asked what were you thinking? he said he wasn't.   I guess that there are stages to go through, like in dealing with the death of a loved one.  this is much the same because it is the death of 41 years of marriage, good bad and ugly I stood by him, and  now I am nothing more than a bother to him someone screwing up his financial life.  Maybe that is all I ever was.  Well gotta go, time to go out and find me.

Bingo

So it is Monday the first day of November, it is sunny and chilly, seems like a really nice day.  I have been working on my invoices and such all morning and trying to catch up on my to do list.  My mind feels like a bingo ball, turning and turning and all the numbers are spinning over each other, tumbling and turning.

I had to check to see if my Zumba aquatic class was on tonite, I had to check that the boss (husband) and I are up to date on the get healthy plan with health insurance, I had two calls from the DA's office in Monroe County this morning, calling to schedule a meeting here in Harrisburg to go over testimony.  So my head is rolling around and round where it stops is anyone's guess.  As long as I get it all done, and it is only Monday.

Zumba is on, can't wait to get in the water and stop all this nonsense.

Is Summer over yet !!!

So I guess it has been a long time since I shared in this space.  How about this summer, is it hot enough for you?  I never thought I would say this because I am always cold in air conditioning lately, but I really could do with a shorter summer.  I can't wait until fall, with the sound of leaves dropping from their branches, and kids walking through gathered leaves on the sidewalk.  The smell of someone starting up their fireplace for the first time of the year, the sound of school buses dropping off happy laughter in the afternoon.  And who doesn't love the colors of the leaves, waving by the thousands as the fall breezes pass over us.  Yes I am ready for summer to be over how about you?

What if.

What if you were on the other side of what if, wishing and doubting decisions made.  There is no way to reconcile them, you just need to own them, or your life will be an eternal  revolving door of doubt. 

There is only one person we have to please in this life and he is very "forgiving". May God Bless you and keep you forever and ever.

Waiting

So Waiting is one of the hardest things that we go through.  We wait for things we don't want, we wait for things we want so badly that we drive ourselves crazy with anticipation.  This past month I was waiting for my 10th Grandchild to be born.  My daughter was overdue and in great discomfort, I was worried for her, she has gestational diabetes, she is 36 and it has been over 7 years since her first childbirth.  But worrying like waiting sometimes is something we do that we have no control over it or the situation.  So I relied on prayer.  This is something that I know is not wasted, and it is something that will give peace to everyone whether they know it or not.  I thank God for a healthy beautiful new grandson, and my daughter is doing just fine.  I feel like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders when I gave my worries to God.  I am thankful as always.......

Another Doll

Another Doll




Just finished another doll. This one is for my sister to give to a very dear friend of hers, that lost her mother to breast cancer as we did. I really enjoy creating these dolls no two are alike, I love designing the clothes and deciding how to make her clothes say something about her. I am working on my next doll, blonde and blue eyed, a larger doll.  Another Doll for breast cancer awareness.  I have other dolls and hooples on my Etsy site.  sudds49.etsy.com  take a look :)
