Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much

I seem to have hit a blogging block. I have more questions than answers right now. Who wants to read a blog full of questions~~ not much fun nor much inspiration.
So today maybe you have some answers to my questions.

Why is it so hard to believe you are loved?
Even children raised in homes that they are loved dearly, can struggle, Why?
Why can’t people be nice to each other?
Why do dear sweet generous people find themselves facing illness and disease?
Why don’t the people in charge ~~see something that is so simple? Come on.

That is just a few and I will stop there.

It has been a busy time the last month moving an elderly aunt into an assisted living. She went, whined and complained all month. Yesterday I went to check on her, I hid so she wouldn’t see me watching her at a line dance demonstration. (You remember watching your kindergartener; hiding knowing they were laughing and having fun, but the minute the saw you they would burst into tears.) Hiding and watching an 82 year old have a great time after complaining for weeks about not wanting to go.
She has met lots of positive and lively older people; it gives me hope that with aging doesn’t have to come grumpy.

I watched my youngest son graduate from the Fire Academy on Sat. as Salutatorian of his class. It has been his dream since he was 2-3 to be a fireman. I don’t know of many men that actually take the leap and follow those young dreams. I was delighted for him. It was full of pomp and circumstance, Fire fighters in kilts playing bagpipes and drums, an Honor guard presenting the flag~~I always cry. Men in uniform, new recruits eager to serve!
Some of the events kept hitting tender spots in my heart, reminders of Chad learning to say the Pledge of Allegiance in pre-k and he would say it every time he saw a flag. At American State Bank, then 1/2 a block later at Bank of America, 1/2 block later at the Lowe’s on the corner. He loved that Pledge, we have always known he would be our military officer most likely Marines, he loved the honor and service. His knee surgery and diabetes changed that dream,but firefighting has always been perfect for him.

So among all the questions, life shows you answers to questions asked years before,and yes I know that some of the questions I have today will have answers at a later time, even if some don’t get answered till I see my Jesus face to face.

In this life
