Five months since my last post. Time seems to fly by. I'm now volunteering at the Senior Center every day and loving it. Not only does it keep me busy, it also gives me a purpose in life, and I've met a lot of new friends. I started out on the phones one day a week and in the dining room one day a week. At the time, I wanted more phone time and no dining room time. Now I gave up the phones and spend all my time in the dining room. I'm more active helping pack the homeboun lunches and sitting at the table helping register everyone. Not to mention meeting new people, talking, joking, and having fun. I look forward to it every day and miss it on weekends. Mondays can't come soon enough.
I'm also still sewing the tote bags and enjoying that too. I'm enjoying life again. Yes, I still miss my husband; evenings are the hardest, but God has helped me through from the time Roger went on home hospice care to now. I know He still has a plan for me. Not sure what it is, but when the time is right, He will reveal it to me. For now, life is still worth living. I've said it right after my husband died, and I still say it.
Last, but certainly not least, I'm enjoying my youngest grandson. He's 20 months old and a delight. I enjoy spending time with him, which I didn't get to do much in the cold winter months. He warms my heart. He is the sunshine in my life. Not that my other grandkids aren't special, they are. I love them all, but there's nothing like a baby to brighten your days.
That's about all that's happening in my life right now. I've not written anything in a long time. I have three stories started, and I'm blocked on all of them. I open them occasionally and read what I've written, hoping it will prompt another idea to move the story along, but nothing. I think the biggest problem is I don't know the endings. Without knowing the endings, my characters don't know how to get there. Maybe one day it will come to me and I'll finish them. For now, I'll keep busy with other things.
