Religion is a growing thing or should be so it makes sense that you and I are not too rigid in our approach to it. We should always be open to new ideas and new ways of doing something, n'est ce pas?<br />Blessings, StarStella Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699491230987143490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-52128706589767968072010-04-04T21:11:48.663-07:002010-04-04T21:11:48.663-07:00What a cute photo of you and your sister!

I was a little down myself today without my kids here, but as our aging life changes we have to try to find the new joy it offers in its different stages.Leave a Legacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08736682143653420541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-74364924843227321902010-04-04T14:07:09.944-07:002010-04-04T14:07:09.944-07:00Lovely.

She died over 50 years ago. Unbelievable that time passes so quickly. We are our memories, I think. You were so smart to write all of yours down, so that you can revisit the days of you life.<br /><br />I'm feeling a little blue without my children this year. Life moves along, and we are not always a part of their lives on the holidays we once held so dear. I'm glad I cherished them when they were happening.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178290697351352495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-62558984105195153132010-04-04T11:23:59.967-07:002010-04-04T11:23:59.967-07:00I agree with Blissed-Out Grandma, your life's ...I agree with Blissed-Out Grandma, your life's not over yet. I can understand the melancholy though. That's okay; you don't have to be always happy. Your post this morning is a bit sad and a bit hopeful at the same time, and the last paragraph is quite eloquent. <br /><br />I would imagine it's easy to look back and see who you were and perhaps who you will never be. I find I tend to mourn that person, the me that maybe lives in a parallel universe made up of the choices I didn't make, the paths I didn't take. At the end of it all, though, I find I have to be thankful for who I am where I am. AFter all, what else is there to do?<br /><br />I also sense a question in your words, asking what is there? What's the purpose of getting up each day and hiking, working out, going out and taking pictures? What is the ultimate goal? Or maybe these questions aren't there and I'm projecting. I've decided that sometimes the answer is as simple as just because; each moment is an opportunity for me to choose who I want to be. Maybe you can decide what the answer is for you. <br /><br />While I am counting my blessings today, know that I count you.

But I can still crawl around on my knees in the garden, and even though the result is some suffering, I can attend soccer matches with the young folks, like I did last night.<br />I was a bit melancholy this morning too. I had opted out of a family gathering a two hour drive away, with a house full of grand nieces and nephews. But I am getting email pics of my grandkids in Colorado this morning, so they are with me in a way. I will cook Easter dinner for my son and two of his friends who lack a family table to join. And I will get outside, do some light garden work, and pick a few flowers for the table.<br />Although I was raised in an evangelical church, I consider myself an agnostic now. I celebrate Easter now as a pagan would, seeing it as the time to celebrate renewal and the beauty of spring time.<br />And so now, with the rain stopped and the sun sort of shining, I will go outside for a bit of worship in my garden.Linda Reederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665601809156707572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-67524422386439337552010-04-04T09:54:05.312-07:002010-04-04T09:54:05.312-07:00This was a beautiful post.

But if you feel a need to change things up, you could always embark on some new adventure...a spiritual journey or a hobby that becomes a passion, or a volunteer role that leads you to unexpected places. In other words, you ain't dead yet, lady!

Your childhood was lived and your sorrows lived through. Your reminder that this is a good time of year to be thankful that this life is not all we will ever know is just like you are in your posts: Hopeful and consistent. However you celebrate this Easter, I wish you a day of peace and acceptance. Hugs to you and your dear Smart Guy.CiCihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08615265608675467505noreply@blogger.com
