Earlier today I posted mine, and Charles, wedding picture taken 68 years ago. Now I am posting the one of our 50th anniversary. This picture was made on our wedding date in 2000. I was not able to post both of them at the same time. I have pictures of the entire family except for one son and his family. Due to car trouble they were not able to make it here in time for pictures. I am so grateful for the nice celebration my children prepared for us. I am also thankful that our Lord let us spend 63 years together before calling Charles home. I always miss him the most at Valentines Day. He always gave me a big heart-shaped box of candy. Some days are just harder to get through than others, although none of the days are without heartache. I can say I have had lots of help from family, and friends, to get me this far. I speak of enjoying myself a lot, and I do, but there are times when I cry a lot. God quickly wipes away my tears. I am one of those wives that can say only half of me is left. Spiritually I am handicapped. Physically I am in good shape. I am so blessed to have a loving family who is always there for me.
I went to the Senior Citizen’s luncheon today. That makes three times I’ve been this week. I feel pretty proud of myself. I will admit that I have to push myself out the door, but I’m always glad I went after getting there. Many of the attendees are there every time the door opens. I feel like I don’t appreciate that place as much as I should. I really don’t appreciate several things any more as much as I should. I know the reason for that is because I’m not as young as I used to be. Considering all things, I think I do fairly well. I do feel blessed a lot more than I deserve. Tomorrow I will be going to the Widowed meeting. Then Sunday I will go to church. Then Monday back to Senior Citizen’s Center. Maybe you can see now why I have to push myself, but if I ever slow down I get in a rut, and can’t get out. I just spin my wheels. I never want to become one of those “all blow, and no go,” persons. I use my computer a lot to communicate with people, but being with people in person is an absolute must, in my opinion. I don’t think anyone looks in the mirror and smiles, but is there anyone who meets a friend that fails to smile? I don’t think so, and laughing, I’ve heard, is better for one than any medicine. I believe that is why the bible tells us not to let the sun go down on our anger. We should not get mad late in the evening.
God Bless
