It has been so long since I took the time to "muse". Life goes along at a breakneck pace sometimes. I have spent a week watching my 4 youngest grandchildren while my daughter in law went to Girl's Camp with the 2 older granddaughters. I have spent a week having acute diverticulitis, and a week doing a few hours of being an election judge for the "early voting" segment of our State Primaries. I have enjoyed much of the things I have been doing, and suffered thru the diverticulitis, and the bad reaction to the antibiotic when I went home from the hospital. There were other things, but I look and wonder where all the time went.
     I have a long list of things I would like to get done. Organizing, cleaning, painting, refinishing,....the list does seem endless at times. I do not mind an endless list, that way I never get bored, and life is interesting. I began an intensive exercise program last month. My sweet hubby bought me a glider to use, because it allows me to exercise without impact on my joints. I was doing 10 miles per day, then I got the diverticulitis thing, and will need to wait a few more days until I am over all that.
     My brother, Marvin, remarried last Saturday. I am so happy for him. He and his new bride, Delorice, are no longer lonely and aching. They love each other, and have found joy, friendship, and love again. The light has come back into their lives. The lights went out for them when their spouses passed away. Now life is good again. Marvin's kids are still adjusting, but the pain of seeing Marvin move on after the death of their mother and grandmother will pass. We pray that they will be able to move on soon, and see the positive changes in their Dad's life, that he is happy again. Neither Marvin and Delorice will forget their spouses who have passed away, but now they can have someone to share life with. I am so glad!
     Our children and grandchildren are doing well, and that brings such a great measure of peace. So........life is rushing so quickly this month, but it should return to "normal" in July. I wonder how that will go? I hope I can get to some of my projects, and feel the peace of having them done, and the beauty and joy I find in doing them. Looking at the balance of my life....it is good. I feel blessed.
