Friday February 3 2017  TRAVELING HOME

Up bright and early to a blustery cool morning in Corpus Christi.  I wish I could have stayed another couple of weeks to help Lana.  Home and responsibilities beckon me.  There are some things of which you can just never have enough.  For me, that is time.  The years go too fast and are too short.  The months speed by.  The weeks are swallowed up, and days are so fleeting that I can barely keep up with them. 

I thought when I retired I would have all the time in the world.  Oh my, is that a misnomer.  My drive today was seven hours and it just flew by.  I listened to an interesting mystery book most of the way and it made the day speed by even quicker than usual.

Stopped at a gas station and ate the packed lunch I brought with me so I saved a lot of time.  And here I am sitting in a Barnes and Noble store in the café area writing a quick blog before I arrive at my cousin’s for dinner.  I plan to be at Nora’s by 6:00 p.m..  I am now in Hurst Texas, a few miles north of Fort Worth, Texas.

This is just a quick note to let my readers and family know that all is well.  You know, you can never quite trust an old lady on the loose!  It sure feels good!  To be both old and on the loose.

ALLOW YOURSELF TO FLY

How do we contain the years

The months and the days?

How do we fill them with memories

Through a calendar’s maze.

Every moment is a blessing.

Every hour can be a profit.

Every week can make a difference

And every second can be a rocket.

We decide our attitude,

Light your fuse and aim high.

Live life with great passion!

And allow yourself to fly.

Thank You God for a safe trip today.

Thank You that Lana is doing better every day.

Thank You Lord for Nora and Mike’s hospitality.

Thank You for life!
