Hi Everyone,

So sorry I haven’t posted in a while.  I have been very busy with Real Estate however, sometimes life slows us down no matter what!  I am still here working very hard but I lost my mom right before the holidays and that is something that just takes the wind out of your sails.

age57She was my best friend and someone one showed me how to be independent and always compassionate.  She cared deeply for those she called friends and loved unconditionally all of her family.

She was beautiful, talented, smart, witty, resourceful, and loved to care for people.  But don’t play a game of cards with her unless you are prepared to lose…lol.

She always said “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”   I had to cure a lot of things I could have prevented if I would have listen to my mom.  I am listening now mom… all the time.

I love and miss you so very much.

Anyone that knows me can tell you that I am not at a shortage for words so I am hopeful that I can blog as well as I can blab…

DSCF3090    You may have already seen my about me info so we will get to the other stuff.  I am an optimistic dreamer.  I try to always see the good in every situation.  It drives Bob, my other half, nuts because he is the opposite.  Bob always thinks about what could happen and looks for the reason why you shouldn’t.  I think this is why we are such a perfect match.  We balance each other.  Outside of that, I have no real balance in my life but I like it that way.

DSCF3125I do have joy!  I have 1 daughter and she is married to a nice young man and they have 2 babies and that is where I find real joy these days.  Even though life is so busy with responsibilities when my grandsons Aiden and Nicolas are with me I try to stop… breathe…  and enjoy every moment because nothing last forever.  Right now I am the coolest thing since sliced bread to my boys because I have a Wii and a pool.  I also have special treats (cookies) and big ole Mamaw (that’s me) hugs.

This is another place that I do not want balance in my life…  I want abundance…  I am so filled with joy when I am with my family but very aware that this time is short lived.  So for that reason I think abundance is in order.
