I AM BACK, IN MORE THAN ONE WAY!

For some time now,

I have just been coasting along,

Living my life, enjoying the grand girls,

my children and their loves,

but not sharing important things on my blog.

Since Fay died, I kind of lost my blogging MoJo.

Then I went on a trip to Virginia Beach to visit

with my godson, Ricky who is stationed in the Navy 

there. His Mother, my friend, Alli made the flight

there and back and I feel like a changed woman.

While there, Rick took us on a three hour drive 

to Washington Dc. Anyone who knows me knows

that I am not good on Geography and probably 

just little bit better on History.

However, the difference on History is,

the older I get, the more I want to know about

the Wars that has been our reason for freedom.

Arlington Cemetery, a visit on my bucket list,

reminded us often,

FREEDOM IS NOT FREE

The changing of the guards at the tomb

of the Unknown soldier was touching at the least,

brought tears to my eyes.

It also made me want to know more,

such as, who are those soldiers who march

meticulously on the black mat where

foot print markings are noted to be worn 

as they take 21 steps each way to represent

the 21 gun salute.

Yes, the trip was a learning experience

and made me want to not only get home but 

learn more, use my life for the better,

wasting no time of this life, when so many

have died so I could have this life.

To learn more, to work at my business more,

to be proud of the home that belongs to me

because of the life of saving Ron and I led

before we became apart.

To not only speak of the book I am writing 

but to actually put the words to paper,

try to publish small works leading to my book.

Geography, yeah well I am a little curious,

Like I wanted to know which ocean I was viewing

out of our plane window (Atlantic)

but history, our own American history is very 

interesting to me.

Stay tuned as I share with you as I learn,

lead, pray for peace.

Let us not waste on minute of our lives so

those who have gone before us will know

their lives were not lost without respect.

Love to all my followers!
