It is amusing that people try to dictate when people should revert to rocking in the good old rocking chair. Don’t get me wrong, I love rocking chairs. There is something about rocking in a chair that reminds me of the comfort of home. But saying that I was recently asked by someone who I considered to be a good friend when I was gonna sit down.
I didn’t answer, but it was a question for thought. She said that it seemed that I was always on the go, always doing something, and even when I was just at home, it seemed that I was busy even if I was doing basically nothing.
Then it hit me, this person was one who loved to 
talk about age. You know the person that loves to tell you how old they are, and the things they can’t do anymore. Why is it that we are constantly telling others and most importantly ourselves what we can’t do anymore? Most children think they can do just about anything, it is only as we age that we embrace what we can’t do. My grandson recently attempted a gymnastics routine as I call it where you slide down the slide, propel yourself up and catch the monkey bars. He did catch the monkey bars, but as the broken arm will attest he let go.
Even with the broken arm, he has decided that he is not to young/old to attempt this feat. He goes go school, tutoring, plays sports, participates in worship at church, has play dates, studies, and so much more. He knows exactly what has to be done, and those that he and his parents consider to be of less importance.
I say all of this just to say when he gets tired, and believe it or not he does get tired–he sits 
down for a rest. But guess what, when he regains his strength, he is on the go again. I know, I know you will probably say that he is all of nine years of age. But it should be the same for any age.
For once I am taking Honey’s Baby’s lead (that’s my name for him). When I get tired, I’ll sit down and rest for a while then get up again. My mother always told me that one day I might not be able to do the things I want to do so go for it. I am also taking her advice. So when I can’t any more, I will have great memories to bore my grandchildren with. They will see that Honey had a ball even when she sat down and rocked.
Remember “thisisyourbestyear”. You will know when it is time to sit down and rest.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and everyone will be wearing pink in the form of ribbons, shirts, tee shirts and more. What we see doing this awareness month is everyone being “pretty in pink”.
Sometimes the chemo may cause the hair to fall out, it can even affect the color of ones skin tone. The scars of mastectomies may be covered, but they are there nonetheless. Some survivors have lymphedema in their arms after the mastectomies.
be expensive if you do not have health insurance. There are places in every community that offer free or low cost services. Below is a list of some of the ones in Tarrant County and the surrounding counties in Texas. Please share with us those in your area so that everyone can benefit from these services.
I am sure there are others, but Mrs. Doreetha Daniels at the age of 99 is one of my inspirations. After taking decades off she decided to give college a try. This lady has had a successful career, successful marriage, raised a family and has great-grandchildren. Getting a degree was something that she always wanted to, but as it is with a lot of us life just got in the way.
None of these things deterred Doreetha Daniels from doing what she sat out to do. She received her Associate’s Degree just before her 100th birthday and has not decided what she will do next–maybe a Bachelor’s Degree. Sounds kind of like the average college graduate.
all of us. She is a woman of a certain age who sat a goal and accomplished it.
As we grow up, things that happen to us can make us go hmmm and scratch our heads at these new symptoms. Some call it the aging process, others say it’s just Father Time catching up, and most of us just say it’s life.
but not hurt. This means that you need a root canal to stop this awful feeling.
as we go through life, but I have a sorority sister who always finds the silver lining in things. The one silver lining I see from being lactose intolerant (and I hardly ever ate ice cream anyway), cutting out most sugar, most breads and caffeine is that I am able to control my weight and I can still have wine.
So when I heard that we would become grandparents 9 years ago I was excited. I could just image combing the little girls hair, putting in pretty bows, buying cute little dresses, dolls and more. Then they told us they were going to give us a grandson. I told them to give him back because we didn’t do boys–just girls. We now do boys.
always find the one power line, but it was fun. We decided to make a cake and decorate for his moms birthday. He used this mixer, decorated the cake and the table.
Remember “thisisyourbestyear”. You can love your grandchildren, give them love and send them home to be with their parents. Grandparents need rest after visits. Enjoy your day.
don’t let the spouse know. They know. Put it in an account with your name on it and move on.

All of us are about to do the happy dance. On July 11, 2018 
we are all invited to celebrate a birthday. No gifts will be expected, all that is required is your attendance. Yes, 7 Eleven is celebrating its birthday by giving away free “small” slurpees. I wait all year for this event. It’s the only time I have a slurpee. My only dilemma is trying to decide what flavor I want this year.

The weird thing is that I only want one, it’s kind of like me and the corny dog thing. One is just enough until next year.
