Family Life Troubles

My biggest problem here is that I cannot seem to get this “granny fanny” out of granny gear! My New Year’s resolutions to catch up, lighten up, and move it along, not necessarily in that order, but seriously.
News flash: I have been in touch with my Prodigal Son and expect to see him and his wife next month. Yesterday I got a card from my grandson at State Men’s Colony. He just turned 21 and sounds more mature than he did a year or so ago. What a hard way to grow up!
I am taking my mother (from her assisted living facility) to church today, then home for dinner with other guests. She used to make her own breakfast in her room. Since her last hip replacement, she’s slower, and she’s not able to get down for breakfast, so they escort her. She doesn’t like that. She calls me to complain every day.
Send speed angels and I will catch up soon!

There are time angels, I am sure of it! When I am behind, I ask them to stretch the time so I can get everything done that I ought. It always works! Just be sure to say “thank you!” Then there are those other angels that travel with me, two big guys like football players, that shoulder people out of my way when I need a space big enough more a motor home on the highway. They play tricks on me too, and make me laugh. Sometimes I think if I could turn around fast enough, I would see them.
Your Mother called to thank me for the flowers. I am glad she enjoys them. It’s hard to buy gifts for older folks, but I guess I am that old now too. Flowers from my daughter were my favorite Christmas present this year!
I have two daughters, two sons, two daughters in laws, one son in law, two grandsons and two granddaughters, and no two alike in any directions! How amazing! They are each a blessing in some way, if only a challenge to my own growth.
My resolution is to really clean out my closet, but I don’t feel very committed to it yet.
Hugs to you, MJS
