I’VE BEEN THINKING-read

GRATITUDE

I AM ALIVE AND WELL.

I CAN SEE AND HEAR WELL.

I HAVE NO PAIN.

I’ve been thinking of how wonderful, in a way, it would be to live with our children forever.

But then we would never have grandchildren. (OK! Does not have to be true at all.)

I know they have to grow up and move out so they can have families and their own life.

I thought about this yesterday as my daughter and I were cleaning up after supper. She is wonderful to have around most of the time.

I will miss her when she moves out. I am anxious that she get married and have a family. As far as I know she doesn’t even date.

Today I am going to buy shoes. I need a wide width. Going with a friend. I wanted to go see my grandson today but not sure if I’ll have the time. There just seems to be so much to do every day and often when there is time I choose to take a nap. I also go see my mother twice a week.

I am still struggling with this grandson thing. I just don’t seem to have the get up and go to see him. He lives about a half hour away.

I also have to go to the dressmaker this morning. I bought a dress and suit which needs to be shortened before I go away next Friday.

I am still trying to figure out how we should plan our future financially. I don’t think a financial planner would work because our money is already invested. It’s with our nephew and hubby doesn’t want me to talk to him. An accountant???????????

Anyhow better get on with my day. I have been sleeping lousy. I can’t fall asleep at night and then in a couple of hours I’m up.

RYN: My granddaughter, Vicki is four years old. She just turned four. The thing about Grandkids is they make you tired but the love and joy they bring into your life is worth it.

But if you want to know what is going on money-wise, you will have to talk to your nephew…

Why doesn’t your husband want you to talk to your nephew about your money? What,is he hiding something? I would demand to know what your situation is. You have the right to know. I make it my business to know everything about our finances. I hate to bring this up but what if your husband passes away suddenly and leaves you without insurance or in debt up to your eyeballs. It can happen!

Take action now before it is too late. If this causes a problem with your husband I would be very suspicious that he is hiding something from you.

RYN: I was sure it was you. So who the heck was it? And no, I never did get the second package 🙁 but you’ve been way more than generous and I appreciate it more than I can say.

Yep, you have every right to know where you stand financially, and to demand answers. Something is not right.

RYN: Thank you!!! : )

I am not sure we would want to live with our children forever. There are some relationships that improve when they move out on their own. Depends of the individuals I guess.

you don’t know if your daughter dates? How old is she? I hear what you are saying about missing our kids when they move out, but with good communication and heaps of love and trust, we still are a part of their lives and vice versa. big hugs

I love my children, but I can’t think of anything worse than living with them forever. I love my mother but would hate to live with her forever. There’s a reason why we grow up and move away…so we can keep loving each other forever!
