Random Thoughts

Well, I figured for a change that I would post some serious comments. Once in a while normal thoughts do go through my brain.

Tomorrow is Father's Day. Though not strange at all, I have no feelings toward this day. I am rather neutral and often forget that this day is approaching. But, hat's off to those who uphold the Biblical standards of being a father/husband.

Once in a while in life, we learn lessons too late in life. It seems then we have nothing in our hands but regret. While working here at Judson Care, I often think of when my grandma was in a nursing home. I realize now more of what it is like.... to be isolated in a room. The staff helps. The nurses are cheerful. But, I often wonder where are the families. Yet, the lesson that I learned too late was that I should have spent more time visiting my grandma when she was in this place in life. I was young. But, that is no excuse. I was busy with high school classes and working at Hannaford... but just excuses. I am sorry that I didn't learn more from her about what her life was like growing up. I regret that I did not make time for her when she had always made time for me as a child. She was never to busy to sew something for me. She was never top busy to make me a fried egg. She was never too busy to buy a SUZY Q (they were to DIE FOR!). But, I was too busy for her. In my youthful ignorance - I didn't know any better and the treasure of my grandma slipped through my fingers.

So, what lessons can I learn from this. Slow down. Take time to breath. Take time for people. Stuff. Deadlines. Paperwork. That can all wait. Savor relationships with family. Celebrate the lives of friends. Tear down the walls we build to be safe and cultivate connections that span from one heart to another.

Finally

Hey everybody! Sorry it's been soooo long. Well, I am now out of school. I took a CPR, First Aid, and AED class last week. So, if you are with me .... you will be SOOOOO safe. :-) ha ha.

Nothing much to say. I used my new sewing machine yesterday. Mom - are you okay? Did you faint? ha ha. I actually hemmed something all by myself. :-) That doesn't mean I won't ever use your services though. ha ha.

There probably will not be any pictures posted this summer. My connection is too SLOW to post pictures. :( I was always posting them at school. Well, I hope you have a terrific tuesday. Nice sunny day here. Are you happy now Tiff?
