===================
Today is Karen's youngest, Madeleine Sophia's, 19th birthday. I call her, Precious Girl. The years slip by so quickly!
=========================================================
When I was a little girl and actually on, until I got overly positive with life, at around 70, I would never make statements about anything really good. I figured if it was good and if I acknowledged it, it would soon go all wrong. I didn't know about "fate" back then, nor do I really believe in it now, but in January, when I proclaimed to the world: "I am so glad this is an odd numbered year, because they are always the best for me. "
I shoulda known!
==================
My daughter Karen stopped in for a visit, on her way to her dental appointment. I just flat out asked her--told her I had a bad feeling about (her daughter) my second grand daughter and her husband. I was right. Trouble in Paradise, way out there in Oregon.
CRAP!
Second question--because I have had a bad feeling about my youngest, Jen and her husband. "Are they separated?"
"Not yet."
CRAP!
Third question--because I got wind of something and had, not a bad feeling, but a worried one.
"How did Pammie's skin biopsy turn out?"
"Oh. I didn't know you knew. It was fine. She's all right."
THANK YOU GOD!!
Fourth question--she filled me in on the latest. Worse than I thought.
CRAP!!
Remember me telling you when the girls got together two weeks ago? I knew darn well something was afoot!!
It is better for me to know what is going on, instead of having these bad, worrisome intuitions. When I know, I become much more able to cope and become tougher and stronger!
===============
So--it is as it is! Life gets hard and sucks a lot of the time. BUT--life can be good, most of the time. We just have to get through the sucky times, not make any rash decisions, not go off half-cocked out of emotional feelings.
<keep telling yourself that Jude>
Pray for strength and just keep going--Onward & Upward--Ever Forward!
