This year, 2018 has held many unwanted, and unwelcome happenings. We have found ourselves walking through the news of poor health or unknown health issues in many of our family members, to divorce to death. In a word, a not-so-nice word, it has been a shitty year. If I were to stop there and just live there for a while I would not be worth much to anyone. So even though I do not understand any of it, I choose not to live in the mindset of thinking about how poorly our year has gone. I must choose to count my blessings.
This past week we were invited to dinner with our oldest son, Robert and his beautiful wife Renee to help celebrate a promotion he had just learned of. We met them the following day at a favorite local restaurant to dine and celebrate. Eric and I were given a gift to open as they arrived.
YES! We are going to be GRAND PARENTS! What a grand thing!! We are freaking over the moon thrilled!
