Good Morning Everyone

What a wonderful day it is today. I got up early and watched the sun come up. As usual I walked the house and checked on my sleeping baby girls. I feel so very blessed.

Over the past few months my oldest sister has been going through a transition. Learning how to go on and live after you loose your husband of many years is a very difficult thing. Her spirit has been lagging and her health has not been to good. The financial burdens were humongus. Not to mention just going on to live each day without your loved one.

So I have tried to be there for her by driving down state each weekend and spending time with her. Helping her box up her belongings as she has moved in with her son and daughter in law.

For the first time in months we have stayed at home for two weekends. I just called my sister and my husbands mother daily. To check on them both and make sure they were handling their grief ok.

This morning as I said my morning prayers. I just began to cry happy tears because I feel so blessed.
I have a husband with a heart of gold. I have loving children who have carried on to carve out new life's and who have blessed me with grand children.
My daughter April is a beautiful young woman and when she is sleeping or watching a movie with me...I am so thankful God is looking out for my big baby girl. Angela is more than any parent could ask for when it comes to a young daughter. Everyone is healthy. We are financially stretched but even so...
We are blessed.

My oldest daughter called me last night and told me she may be pregnant again. With two small boys she is over whelmed. I could hear her worry in her voice. She brought up adopting the baby out to someone else.

Of course I spoke up and said Stacey if you can't handle it. Mom and Dad will raise it for you. Then she began to cry. She said mom I just needed to know you are with me. You have always been there for me.

Once again I am thankful that God left me here to raise my children. Considering the health issues I had a few years ago. Once again I feel so blessed.

I spent more time with my son and his girlfriend. She also is pregnant with my grandchild. He is due
September 27th. I really had time over the weekend to get to know her better. Her other two children already call me grandma and tell me they love me.
Once again I feel so blessed.

I see God alive and working all around me and my family. Even in the lives of my friends and fellow bloggers on line.

We are here to build a family and to lift one another up. I always pray for my readers and their children and extended families.

Each of you who stop in and read with me and share your thought with me. Mean so very much to me. I just had to up date you on my life and to tell you Thank you for supporting me by visiting this blog site.

I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Warm Hugs,

Sharlene

Oh yes Michelle I just had a yearly physical and I passed with flying colors. I am on my way to having the weight loss surgery.
Which will help keep my heart and kidneys working for a few more wonderful years.

Even though I have lost most of my eye sight (Thank you Nancy for still letting me blog) and have been through a quadrupple by pass...and have been a 29 year insulin dependant diabetic.

I am still living life to the fullest and Im blessed every day to be here and to have my family all around me.

Hugs,

Sharlene
