"Like the sands of time in an hour glass, so goes the days of our lives"

Grace 2006... 2 years old

March 16, 2019... My family has a long history of listening on the radio then watching soap stories on TV. I can picture my Aunt Louise ironing clothes on a hot summer day listening to "Ma Perkins". My Father was not even immune. He would leave work for lunch to rush home and watch "Search for Tomorrow". I bring this up because my Granddaughter, Grace mentioned at lunch yesterday that I haven't written on my blog in a very long time, January 2014 to be exact so when I decided to resume writing, the prologue from "Days of our Lives" came to mind.... "like sands through an hourglass, these are the days of our lives". That is exactly how I feel.

Grace 2018... 14 years old

Where did the time go? In joy and love being with our children, grandchildren and now great-grandchildren, family and friends. Dave Ramsey says in reply to How are you. "Blessed more than I deserve", so am I. The years have only made our children more wonderful, if that's possible and our grandchildren more beautiful and handsome. The added benefit is that they are all so brilliant. It is lovely in one's golden years to have great resources and mentors. I hardly have to make decisions at all. I can hardly speak of my Granddaughter, Grace without my heart swelling so full, tears come to my eyes. She is so dear to me and without her I would never be able to choose the best make-up and skincare. I am amazed at her beauty inside and out, her spiritual growth and generosity to name only a few of her sterling qualities.

These blog posts are dedicated to our grandchildren... more to come on the nine other wonderful ones.
