Good Morning Monday!

Monday morning, *sigh*.  The whole week will start anew.  Cleaning, laundry, cooking, phone calls to be made.  Got the important stuff done, shower, dressed and bed made.  Now on to the not so much fun stuff.

I have long admired people who can write about anything and make it seem interesting.  They just seem to have a knack for how to compose a sentence, with a word here, a phrase there and a complete surprise with the placement of all of the verbs, adverbs, nouns, pronouns and all that other stuff we take for granted.

I, on the ohter hand, could not describe a blue sky with the sun shining down on the freshley greened grass without having to stop and think about it.  When I would get it down, it would just sound like what it was, sky and grass.

I realize that these blogs are supposed to be used for voicing opinions and viewpoints about politics, life, religion and anything else that you could think of.  I refuse to use it to gain pity from other people.  My life hasn't turned out the way I wanted or thought it would, but it hasn't turned out to be so bad either.  Yes, there have been sad times, but the good out weigh them.  For instance, during our first year of marriage we had either 6 or 7 deaths of family members.  We lost 3 Grandfathers, 1 cousin, 1 son and 1 uncle.  Hard to handle all that, especially when you are trying to start a new life together as a family, but we did it.

Over the years we of course have lost more family, that is to be expected.  For some reason the aging never stops, the illnesses just keep adding up.  However, there have been such great events also.  The marriages of both of our children, the birth of our grandchildren and the future with more grandchildren.  For after all, that is what life is..one great big cycle of birth, death and re-birth.

I know that there are some people who believe that the end of the world is in sight.  Of course it is.  It always has been, and always will be.  It is as unchangeable as the course of events that will take us from birth to death.  I wouldn't want it any other way.
