Mom, pushing 90

Talked to my Mom today and we were discussing an upcoming family wedding in September. I asked her if she was going to Katie's wedding and she said she'd like to, but some folks thought it would be too much. I reminded her that such an adventure at her age will make a great story. Mother is a sucker for good material. I said I love to tell people that my mother had 13 kids and will be 90 in June. "Don't forget that I'm a size 12 too". I love it!

Waiver on Maturity

This was a term that came up in my recent studies. Not an actual real legal term, just a trick answer on one of my tests. I love it. My first husband definitely had this waiver and took it seriously. There's plenty of evidence to support that. It' more of a lifestyle choice and I believe it is very popular among men. I think women should give it more thought. It looks like an attractive option from my viewpoint.

Quotes that touch my heart

It has been said, 'time heals all wounds.' I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone.
Rose Kennedy

Without being maudlin, this captures my experience of life. It comforts me. I'm not crazy, just scarred.
