Just Pondering Some Things

This morning in the shower I was thinking about how much things have changed in my life in the past 6 years. I am SO very lucky to have found & married Ron. He's an amazing man who is extremely calm and the perfect balance to my mentally hyper self.

The kiddos! What an unexpected change. I truly believe that Skylar saved my life. In the most minor example, I had to be sober for 9 months... something I did not believe to be possible nor worthwhile. Boy was I wrong! I still over indulge at times but it's so few and far between that it seems negligible, especially given my past propensity for - mildly stating - tomfoolery.

They drive me insane some days of course and every now and then I wonder what life would be like with the freedom I once had without appreciating it. But overall it's fun and while the future world they will be left with scares me, I will do what I can to make their lives as fantastic as possible.

It was an introspective shower. I reflected just how lucky I am that an angel from up above saw I needed a MAJOR life change before I snuffed my life out all on my own.

I also think - wow. I have actually MADE A DIFFERENCE in a friends life recently. She decided to go vegetarian. That makes me happier than anything when someone else decides they can no longer support the meat industry. And, had I not been here, I don't think she would have ever seen "the light". It makes me smile.

It's just kinda cool the way things work out. Hopefully I have a long road before me to see all sorts of miraculous things. We shall see!

Deep thoughts by Kristy. That is all. :-)

I don't know how I missed this post but I am so happy for you. When
push comes to shove, family and friends are the ultimate wealth. So sorry
about Kraymer, He has been such a loyal and dear friend. I wish dogs
lived a long time.

I love you and your kiddos more than words and feelings can express. I am happy you are happy, and you know what? I can't wait to be an even older lady with you!

Yes! When we retire in Vegas or somewhere with Casinos! Haha

Among the many things I've discovered on my journey to geezerhood are a few suggestions that might apply to your journey too: Always expect the unexpected and look for the opportunities it offers. NEVER use the word failure. Anything that appears to be one of those is actually a learning experience. And by all means, have fun whenever you can!

Solid advice! And it's kind of funny, I don't think of you as older... Any of you for that matter, but I appreciate any and all sage advice
