Today the sky is blue, the sun is very warm, the birds are singing and the gardens on the farm are looking so beautiful, it is one of those moments in life when you think to your self how lucky am I. I have no fortune in the monetary sense but I feel blessed to have eyes to see, ears to hear and limbs that move reasonably well, a husband that loves me, an amazing daughter and 6 adorable loving grandchildren and a very nice son in-law, plus I do have some very good friends and although I do not see my family in the north very often I know they are there if ever I need them. Sometimes in life we do need reminding of the things we do have, when we die we cannot take the luxuries in life with us, we go out as we came in, so why is we put so much store by having them, I know I am guilty of wanting more, I like those extras, the Internet, travel, eating out, nice clothes, is it that we see it so we want it? I have no answer to it, but today I feel content. I know tomorrow I won’t as I wave my husband off for another week, I truly hate being away from him, even though I am so busy I find Friday comes around again on the blink of an eye, and again is that not how life is a blink of an eye and it is gone. From now on I am going to work really hard to fully live my life, not worry about tomorrow too much just take the good from each day .
On a slightly different note I was talking to John about some music from my past that took me back to my hippy years and how different it was, I told him we used to meet up as a group of us and not just end up in the pub but head for the beach. We took barbecues, guitars, rugs to sit on, we talked, danced, sang, got wet, kissed, laughed and generally had fun, and don’t forget this was in the north of England, but now it feels like everything centers around clubs or pubs, not many people do there own thing anymore, I think we should bring the hippy ways back and trust me folks I never did drugs, yes I did drink, still do, and suffered terrible hangovers but it was not binge drinking as you get now, and yes there was sex going on but not half as many teenage girls getting pregnant as their is today, those days you would not be given all the benefits and a flat, it fell to you to look after any children that came along as the result of not being sensible. So I think as I face the later years of my life I am going to be again a hippy gran and enjoy every moment of it.xxxx
