Tag You're It...

I've Been Tagged....

A very good friend of mine, Sandy, tagged me and now I need to finish these statements and then tag someone.....

I'm happiest when.... I'm home with my hubby and we are having one of those chatty days... love hearing his thoughts and dreams.

Someday I'm going to... become less of a procrastinator and actually finish all of the little craft projects that are in drawers, boxes and bags that are half finished... Oh my, what will I ever do then?

When I'm really down, what I want to do is... learn how to just shake it off and get on with life.

I feel anxious when... Ray calls me to say he's on his way home... I just can't wait to be around him.

I like people who... think of others before themselves, smile when it's hardest to do so and are honest and trustworthy.

All it takes to make me happy is... being around other happy people.

What I really want to do is... stay on this Earth forever to be able to look after all of those that I love.

A person really should...worry about themselves and their loved ones instead of everything else around them that really doesn't concern them. I would think the world would be a much happier place then.

If I could do whatever I wanted, I would... make the world a better place, ie, stop pain and suffering, cure illnesses, whip out hunger, teach our children to be more tolerant, and a bunch more things that I just can't think of right now.

Okay Sandra, Jessica and Mom now you've been tagged... You're it....

i know i know

long time no blog... lol well i'm here now and let's see if i can put something interesting together for y'all to read...
topic... mortality
i understand the circle of life thing and that dying is part of living and all but it doesn't mean i have to like it... or accept it... and i don't...
i used to be afraid of the pain of death... of how i was going to die and used to pray to God that it would be a peaceful and painless death.
since having kids that has all changed... becoming a mother and then a grandmother has caused me to rethink this whole dying thing.
when my kids were little all i could think about in terms of dying was that i wanted to live long enough to see them do the big things... go to school, graduate, marry and start families of their own... to see what kind of people they grew into and relish in the fact that i made it that long... then i would be at peace to thank God and move on if i had to... and now that's changed too...
next came grandchildren... now that old fear has risen up in me again... now i want to put off the inevitable... once again... for as long as i could so that i can now see my grandchildren do the big things... you know... go to school, graduate, marry... all that stuff all over again...
so there you have it... that circle of life stuff all over and over and over... it never stops... it keeps going on with or without us... just hopefully with us for a very, very long time... at least that's one of the things i pray for..
