Walk With Me

Can't believe that it's almost mid July already.
June was busy for me.
My son graduated from High School.
Took him to his Freshmen orientation at his University.
Now, I've been buying his 'things' for his room.
Just a few items left that he can get himself.
Come August both my kids will be away studying.
First time in almost twenty two years that it will be
just me and the cats and dogs and Mr. Boatman.
Where did the time go ?

I'm at the beach place for a couple of weeks.
Came down last week for the fourth,
Staying a few more weeks with the Purr & Fur Gang.
(The roof is being replaced at home so there was
no point in taking the Gang to and from.)

It's very quiet here.
Just the Gang and me during the week.
Mr. Boatman comes down on weekends.

I'll probably head on back home in late July.
Til then I go on walks on the beach.
(when the tides are out)
I look for small sand dollars and angel wings.
(That's what I call the small scallop shells that are still together.)

When the tide is in, it's like a big lake.
I walk down our small road and over the bridge.
I walk the loop around the Island.

Small boats and cottages with the cozy feel.
I truly enjoy this area.

I wish I could take my dogs with me.
Bella's leg is not allowing her to go on walks anymore.
She needs to be a walk slowly around the yard dog now.
Old age just is mean sometimes.

I might be able to take Maddy Jean by herself,
if I can manage to separate my girls.
They are always together.
And, I mean always.

So, that is my update.
Aren't you glad you know more about me
than you ever thought you'd want.

Living The Good Life

I have been busier than normal lately.
Could be that Spring was so rainy.
With a couple of nicer weeks,
I've been busy in the yard.
Not me exactly but the crew I hired.
For the first time, I gave up
 and hired someone
to do my yards.
It looks so nice now.
Also, my youngest graduates
from High School this week.
After that, I think that the
Summer will be relaxing.
No big plans at all.
I plan on dreaming
and living the good life.
While I pet those
sweet purr and fur balls,
of course.

Not real exciting but
it's so much in the plan.

Thoughts On Thursday

I've been calmer lately.
Which is so nice.
My soul was weary and tired.
I sometimes figure things out.
Others times I am in
worn out from my journey mode.
I am blessed to be where I am.
Joy of life and the sadness
 it sometimes brings.
It's all a path we walk.
Mine has been bumpy
and full of what ifs.
This week I've been quiet.
As if the turn I've made,
was the right one.
Where do I go from here ?
Always walking.
Turning that corner.
Looking at this or that.
Smelling those darn roses.
They are so nice
even with those thorns.

Hope you all enjoy
your long weekend.

Nothing but the truth

I wanted to write something witty.
Not happening.
I'll just tell the truth.
Which is what I usually do
and that is what has gotten me
in trouble most of my life.
That and my face.
I'm always told that my face
says something different and
shows emotions to others
that I don't really mean.
What am I to do ?
Be stone.
Anyway, on this rainy morning
I thought I'd say that
my life has been a turn and twist.
I'd just like things to go smooth.
Not happening.
I've survived a lot physically and emotionally.
I'm old.
I'm worn out.
I just want to take a long nap
like my cats do.
I will continue on.
I always do.
I will figure out what's best for me.
I usually do that too.
I just hope my face doesn't give me away.
Darn it all ...
if a gal can't hide behind her own
what can she do.
Drink perhaps ...
And these are my thoughts on another rainy morning.

Potential

I see potential in the skies
Clouds that mask the blue
Always drifting and giving hope
The warmth that might stay
The light that shines through
I am a believer
that one may find
their soul
hidden within
