Half-Century

My half-century mark is quickly approaching. One more year left, then it's here. I have thought alot lately about all the buzz about "bucket lists". I can honestly say, there is nothing I feel really compelled that I need to do before I kick it. I have traveled in my time. If there is something I need or want, if it's possible, I usually just go ahead and get it or do it. I guess if I had to choose something it would be to spend more time with family and friends. I miss seeing and talking to my best friend everyday. She is still alive, just lives in another town. I miss her girls. They are special to me. I really miss the new little man in my life, Rader J. Brose. I could entertain him all day. I miss seeing my sister that lives out of town and her family. We get together as much as possible, but seems like it's never enough. I really look forward to holidays. Seems like we can find time to get together then. All of Bobby's family lives somewhere else, so we hardly ever see them.

As I reflect, I have many things to be thankful for. I have a great husband. He's a hard worker and a great cook. Much better than me I hate to admit. I have great pets. I have a great family, great friends, a great job, and a good church family. I can only hope that the next 50 is as good, or better, than the last.
