Makes for interesting reading I think. The world is a big place. So many opportunities await so many of us, if we care to look. Go explore the world while you are young 'cause you are a long time dead! Add that person you think you remember but can't quite place, Go search for that person you remember. You never know, you could strike up an amazing friendship! What have you got to lose?

Life, the universe and me.

Life is coming along nicely. I have a job, my own place, brilliant kids and nearly a grandmother. What more could one ask for?!  Life is swimming along nicely for me.
My kids are swimming behind me like proverbial tadpoles too. My oldest has just bought his own pad, mortgage and everything! My baby is expecting her own baby and the middle child, in her words, "is still at home and working a dead end job".
Said middle child is working a job the opposite of her field. Although I know she secretly loves it, it's still not what she has been trained for so I understand her frustration. But she's a mature young adult and I trust her to choose the right home for me when I need it.
My eldest has always had his head screwed on the right way and am proud to call him my son. As for my baby,(she's made a lot of mistakes, haven't we all?) I'm her birthing partner which is, in my eyes, the biggest compliment any child can give his/her mother.
Considering I lost my handbook (you know the one that pops out with the child?) when all my kids were born, I believe I done a good job!
They all have 'stuff' happening in their lives but they are not drug/alcohol addicts and for that, I am proud of every single one of them. I salute my children.
