To love and to be loved

When I met my husband in 1970, I had a dream to have a close loving relationship with my family and friends. I decided to  make my marriage work and keep my relationship with family and friends as loving and caring as possible. As time went by, I felt disappointed at times. There were times when life threw me  curve balls, and I was ready to give up. I am thankful and grateful I passed the tests and went through tough times with flying colors. I invested my whole life with joy, laughter, and sadness. There were times when I  couldn’t help but just cry. Crying always makes me feel better. I feel like crying now, just thinking about when  my  dog, Sunshine, passed away. This is the  first time I had a close loving relationship with furbies. My kids hogged our dogs when they were growing up. I was busy with other stuff.  I retired from work 11 years ago, and  my kids  have their own families. Now, I have time to enjoy my furbies and do those things I couldn’t do because of raising  children and work. Life is good. I keep learning and expanding my skills, knowledge, and enjoying experiences that I chose to do. I learned to  say no to things that are wasting time. My goal is to enjoy what  time I have left. I learned not to over  commit to anything.  Everything in moderation.  This year, I published my first book, Escaping Diabetes Through Healthy Living. My relationship with my family and friends is amazing. The best is yet to come.
