But, I was a single mother, working full time outside the house, and part-time care giver to my own mother for the last 6 years of her life. There wasn't enough time in the day to do everything that had to be done! Hopefully, now, with retirement in the not too distant future, I'll be able to slow down and take time to enjoy the little things that bring me joy. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-76916099176118692122018-04-25T12:32:59.185-07:002018-04-25T12:32:59.185-07:00Thank you Debbie!

Seems like I spent so much unnecessary time and energy this last year focusing on and worrying about things that I had no control over. It's like all the people in my life went crazy at once. I did sit down and figure out that it has all brought me closer to God, my one brother and my two granddaughters. So there is good in the bad. I am very opinionated about how people should do things and I can see the bad roads they are heading down before they do. I am a watcher of people. But that doesn't mean they don't need to make their own mistakes and find there own way. Thank you for reminding me to notice the beauty and little things in life. Take care.<br />Crystal Hankeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-22990177748740670572018-04-24T09:39:04.732-07:002018-04-24T09:39:04.732-07:00I call those things simple pleasures.

And the older boys pulling nails.<br />We too have bumble bees flirting between the yellow dandelion flowers.<br />From your last post - turns out I overdid it a bit in the garden over the weekend too. Yesterday afternoon I could feel a crash come on. I talked and prayed my through it without any tears, so that was progress. No gardens today, just a quick run to the library to pickup a 'hold' and home again.<br />Take good care, SJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-13815776867723068142018-04-24T06:56:49.340-07:002018-04-24T06:56:49.340-07:00We all need to take those moments in.
