When I had the good fortune to spend a few hours with Lynnie, Vi, Joni and her two wonderful sons, Caleb and Sam I was reminded that I had not contributed to this blog on a regular basis. Facebook kind of took over but I've made it a mission to remember to write here once in a while as well.
Today, January 20, is the anniversary of the loss of our dear Grandma Grim. The times were so different back then in 1969. There wasn't a computer in any home in the world, and some folks didn't even have phone service. While I was just a little girl, only 9, I have such fond memories of Grandma Grim. She was only "Grim" because that was her last name. She had a great outlook on life, believed that anyone could accomplish anything they put their mind to, and loved us with every ounce of her being. She also could hold a grudge, so you never wanted to get on her bad side.
While visiting Lynnie and Vi, Vi shared a poem she wrote about Grandma which was written with such love and adoration, it brought me to tears. Whenever I wonder what route I should take next ... I am reminded that I come from a line of strong women who always worked hard and loved hard. Anything is possible.
2010 ended with a wonderful visit with family I had not seen in years and getting to meet two wonderful boys. Caleb and Sam delighted me with their tales. Their smiles are embedded on my mind. Joni is doing such a great job with them. And it was so good to see her after all these years.
2011 begins with many new plans ... new goals ...
May all of you find joy and happiness in each day of your life.
