Life Comes Full Circle The older I get the more life seems to be coming full circle. Recently I had to go down some steep steps one at a time. A was beside me doing the same. I looked at him and his mother, laughing as I told them "See. Grandmas have to do it this way too." Today we were working on the van conversion . Took the 2 back seats out, the first step to set it up as a camper and to be able to haul my crap for projects around when we are not using it as a house. This brought a strange feeling of Deja Vu. This is the third time I have done this. The first was about 50 years ago. Came in and baked cookies and a pie, made a herbal brew we call tonic for immunity support, reorganized the stuff in the back room and now will fix dinner then work on the new quilt / fabric art project I have going on. Sat down for a minute. The news was on. Protests, conflicts, disagreements, police brutality and street violence. Sounds like 1967. 50 years and nothing changed - or so it seems. It feels like I am in grad school again. THEN I DRAG MY ACHING BODY PAST THE MIRROR IT REMINDS ME NO WAY - 50 YEARS HAVE INDEED GONE BY. I think about this and realize at least I don't have to worry about exams, finding a job and deciding what I want to be when I grow up and I feel much better. Spiritwoman ^i^ |

Some very valid points! I never traveled in a van like that, never protested, etc........ but I look at the little ones and realize I take similar steps at times, and I look at my grandchildren, getting married, planning a family and I realize the circle of life goes on. Some days, I'm ready to just lay down my section of the circle.......... and other days, I say, "Hell no! I'm pushing on." Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Yes, I was thinking about this the other day when Dan posted something along these lines about seniors. Something in the blog was about being like a child again, dont have to go to school, work. Just do what we want, play how we like and have a steady income. Yes the bones feel it alright, but the sailing now is a cruise.  Judgment Day will be interesting - and all paths lead there.

Time moves very fast when we remain busy, spirit. "The older you get, the faster time seems to go." This is an accepted fact of life. May by, at a certain time, we start growing up very fast and we feel that there will never be enough time left to get everything done before starting the journey for the unknown!
