My Grama's Soul

"Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism.  It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out."     Vaclav Havel Life goes on.......no matter what happens in it!!! xoxo Jo Pic by me taken while traveling across this magnificent country of ours.

All of us, at one time or another, have had to make a transition in our life.  Well, at sixty-six years old, it is finally time to make yet another one in mine.   My wonderful husband and I have decided to sell our large home and downsize into something more manageable.  We have been here almost 12 years....live in a wonderful area....have beautiful neighbors and certainly will miss this spot.   However, I know something even better is around the corner.  The biggest concern now is what to do with all the "stuff" that one does seem to accumulate over a lifetime.  Of course, we will keep things we love, but out of necessity we will part with things that no longer have any significance in our lives.  I want to do this move while we both are still alive so as not to be overwhelmed when one of us do eventually pass. I am feeling a little overwhelmed at present...but I do know that this process will take time.  It is kind of like eating an elephant...."o

so simple....... so lovely......... ~~~~~~ Hugs, Jo sign by Style Carrot

Today is our anniversary.......34 years and counting...... We have been through a lot together and hopefully we will have many, many more years together. He sends me red roses EVERY year.  This year I told him not to because they are so very expensive....but his comment to me was "as long as my heart beats along with yours, you will receive red roses on our anniversary." Oh my........be still my heart!! Have a beautiful day, Jo
