The passage of time

 So I am moving quickly to what I consider the gateway to old age, 75 years.  Wondering what the remainder of my life will be like and remembering the people that formed me and have been a constant thru my days.  First my parents, that truly loved me, forgave all my mistakes and missteps and applauded my achievements.  My Judy that has put up with me for nearly 50 years, still loves me despite all my faults and all my kids and grand kids that allow me a view to the future. I have great hopes for all of them but mostly for their happiness.  

I have friends that have stuck with me for decades and I have watched all of us mature and gain some insight that was lacking in the beginning.  My dear sister and I have taken slightly different paths but I consider us closer now than ever.  She has a terrific husband that loves her and his grandsons to the moon and back.  

Many of us have weathered health scares in recent times and are in a constant state of repair like vehicles that need new or refurbished parts.  And yet, we keep rolling.  With all that being said, tomorrow will be a new day.  Meals will be prepared and eaten, Kids will be fed and the  wash will get done.  It's a quiet, bright morning and I am glad to be here.
