M-Kid's Halloween

Picture of us at the pumpkin patch and M-Kid on halloween in his lion costume. He loved being in his costume. He tried it on several times and ran around the house. He even kept the headpiece on (for the most part, but pretty good for a toddler!) We had a good time on Halloween. Went trick-or-treating and walked around the mall. Pretty low key, but perfect!

Life and Death

As our Grandad (M-Kid's great Grandad) is getting ready to pass...I ponder about my own life and life in general. I will consider myself more than blessed if I can have half of these things in my life in no particular order: To be able to watch my child(ren) grow up, with my husband by my side. Live to be an ol granny, surrounded by lots of family, and be able to tell stories of my oh so interesting life. Pass peacefully in my sleep, knowing that I have lived a long, happy life. Don't we all wish this! My family knowing how much I love them and appreciate them being in my life. My family to live a long, happy and healthy life. "Own" a home that my family and I think of as HOME. Enough money to live and be able to do things I want to do, and be financially secure. To live my life, enjoy each moment, create new memories and experiences, and not sit on the sidelines and wait for it to go by. To not always be bogged down with the stresses and anxiety of life...which is sometimes a challenge for me! Well, that is all for tonight. Off to bed. Any prayers of peace and healing that anyone who reads this can spare for Grandad are appreciated.
