Some of you will know me well enough to laugh or smile when I write as if I'm talking. I have these little words I use when I can't think of the "real" word for something. I call it Reese talk. anyway.
Recently went through a death in the family and wanted a place to write memories of those past so my younger family and friends could share in the memories. I am the oldest granddaughter on both sides so I may remember things the cousins may not, simply because they weren't there yet.
I will probably not post everyday but whenever memories come through my little brain. I am a random thinker so I apologize in advance if there is no "flow" to this blog. Perhaps it will be perfected over time. Besides memories of loved ones past, I will share mommy memories as well of the children and their funny antics. My son in particular says and does some crazy, weird, funny things. My step-son is also full of funny thoughts and things he says. By the way, they are 6 months apart and completely different from each other in many ways, so the "getting to know each other" phase has been quite amusing to watch and be a part of.
Alittle about me - even though I consider myself to be young, I think I have experienced many different things in life already. Mostly I have held many jobs and lived in several different states. Even though I'm still pretty naive sometimes, I have lots of memories and funny, weird things that have happened to share. I've been told many times that I should write a book, so here's a shot at writing. Perhaps someday someone will help me organize my random thoughts into a book.
You certainly never know where life will take you. The past few days since my grandmother passed, I must admit that I feel like life is moving on and we have to move on with it. Even though you want to stay in the moment of flooded memories of the loved one; not wanting to let go of them and their presence in your life. It felt almost surreal (I think that's the right word) when I left the hospital and went to the store for ice cream (it has healing qualities!); everyone around me was milling about, carrying on with life as if nothing had happened. It struck me as odd. Myself being in this state of loss; yet everyone around had no idea what had just happened. It was like an epiphany; an eye opening experience; another nugget of wisdom in life; a deep secret in life that you only realize if you stop in the midst of a moment and observe what is truly fully happening around you.
speaking of real life...... I must get back to work!
