Today I turn 60. As I sit reflecting on the past year, it was filled with many blessings & obstacles.
My daughters are amazing. There were law degrees, marriage, engagement, new jobs, new houses, thesis & a wonderful gift, my first grandbaby is on the way.
They make me so proud.
Our Country is a disaster. We have a disease rampaging our country, an incompetent man running it, civil unrest, poverty, children in cages, impeachment & the list goes on. My dream is to have him removed & I add him to the list of successes of next year.
Fuck Trump!
Began 24/7 care of my mother-in-law in late stage dementia. We are maintaining 2 households, haven’t slept in the same bed with my husband for a year. Helping my GOP aging folks with cleaning, cooking & healthcare while having to listen to Fox.
Lost my majority of my business, have $59 in my checking acct, 3 months behind in rent, no stimulus, no small business loan, as of yet, no unemployment. For the first time in my life, I borrowed money from family who really don’t have extra.
Not my proudest moment.
A pregnant cat showed up & had kittens in the ceiling, we found amazing homes for all, lost my beloved goofy Newfie Mitzi & my sweet cats, Mr. Buggles & Iverson. Adopted a big beautiful hound mix that I needed as much as he needed me.
I walk by the mirror & hardly recognize the old lady staring back at me. I’ve let my hair go grey & cut my own hair. The lines tell the story of life. I’m healthy but slowing, things hurt sometimes and all the hair on my legs has moved to my chin.
I thank you all for being an important part of my life, the strength you bring, the compassion, your humor gets me through. You have made a better me. I have met so many wonderful people, accepting, kind, loving, generous with your heart.
You are the promise of a better future.
Today marks an milestone for the beginning of a new year & decade for me.
We all have our ups & downs, our wins & loses, our struggles & accomplishments. That’s life!
I am thankful for what I have been given.
I am truly blessed.
