Today, Color Me Happy

Good evening. Wednesday blog. We walked this morning, 6 miles, someone has blisters. Not me. My feet paid there dues. Both of my feet took a beating in the beginning. I do believe, no pain, no gain. I also believe, take care of yourself, while easing into new things! Blisters hurt, I have had plenty. They take time to heal. Now, shopping in flip flops, that does not hurt! Today, my daughter took me to, Old Navy, Ulta and Kohl’s. Sales!!! Although weight loss is great and has its place, it also leaves you with nothing to wear. I got a lot today. I was so excited! Raising 4 kiddos can get expensive. So, Denny and I put their needs first. We treated ourselves to new things, on special occasions. We never went without! When the kids grew up, they started getting us things! It’s a win, win. Brought salads from Bob Evans for moms and my supper. No crying, while shopping. This morning, I woke up before 5:00am. Granddaughter #2, shared a post about staying at grandmas house, I knew she must be feeling melancholy. I didn’t have to read much, I was sobbing, as my mind was flooded with memories from Butler St. I will never forget. Oh how much fun they all were, when they all stayed! I couldn’t wait for summer, lunch, and pizza by the pool! Movies in the living room. Homemade pancakes. Hide and seek, my favorite. Our house was big enough for that. Whatever reasons brought us to each others homes, my kids, it was reason enough to ask, can we stay at grandmas, or I would say, can they spend the night? Pretty much yes, every time. I could make myself sick from missing it all! They have all grown so fast. Shopping today kept my mind busy. Every night I sit here looking for images, that always tug at my heartstrings. I’m sure many of you have this going on in your life. Cherish every moment. I don’t have to tell my son or daughter in law. They are mesmerized by our newest member, their grandson. Already looking for him everyday, missing him as soon as he leaves! I love to say, and the circle of life goes round and round! I still need to be with them, they all miss their papa. I miss their papa. Doing for others keeps the mind busy also. I so miss baking for Denny. I baked cookies this past weekend. I had 9 plates, I shared with family. So, when you deliver cookies, you get to visit and get hugs! Thank you Lord! Going to bed with a full heart, makes a restful night! I can do all things in Christ Jesus. If any of you take anything to heart, let it be your family. Time is moving quickly! Do not miss a moment. One day you might be sitting in bed, alone, typing, praying, hoping, loving, that everyone of you sees how important family and friends are! Good night. God bless.❤️🤗🙏🏻🤗❤️
