It’s the middle of June and I never posted for May! I was in Atlanta several days in May for two big events- my oldest granddaughter McKenzie graduated from UGA and youngest granddaughter Bailey had her spring musical theatre presentation. Precious times spent with family. Got to see friends of many years (Glo, Cathy, Chip, Darlene, Suzanne, Merry), eat at some favorite spots (The Varsity, BBQ Kitchen), celebrate Mother’s Day with my family, and see my sister too.
Summer is definitely here even if it’s not yet the official equinox. Here in beautiful Flagler Beach it’s highs in 90s, ocean temps in the 80s, turtle nests, surfing dogs, thunderstorms with lightning over the sea, and rainbows. All the grandchildren have been to visit. They love riding in the convertible with music blasting, just like me. There’s just something about a convertible and music that makes for good medicine. Here’s the link to my official summer playlist- enjoy!
People, I cannot stress enough how short life is. None of us are promised another year, day, or moment. I preach constantly this is the greatest wisdom I gained from suddenly losing my son in May 2009 and my husband in April 2022. You must make time for the people and activities that are important to you. Life does not come with guarantees, and we must make the most of it.
I do not know how people without faith endure. I have several friends right now with serious health issues. I know having friends and family leave this earth before us is part of getting older and those times are full of sadness. Just one more reason for us to prioritize those we love. The saving Grace, however, is that eternal life is guaranteed if we accept that gift from God through belief in his son Jesus Christ.
