I passed on my word art business to a family member as I prefer to spend more of my time with family.
I have started crocheting again and enjoying it. That was my first online business.
Life is no more relaxed than it was, ha ha. I spend only half a week at home now. The other half is with my daughter, helping with the children and enjoying them.
I think spending time with the children is very important. It’s as though you see the world through a child’s eyes once more. They find everything endlessly fascinating and each child is so unique in the way they view their world. The things they notice and the observations they come out with are so often hilarious too.
I confess when I am with them I laugh a lot. Laughter is so good for us, our health, mental and physical. If you don’t find many things to laugh at, spend time with a small child, they are amazing. Even as they grow bigger they are fun, yes even the teenage stage. Often great conversations can give insights into the way their mind works which is also endlessly fascinating.
Take the time to know your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, enjoy them rather than dismiss them as a nuisance. Yes many do enjoy the children but many don’t and they miss out. Children keep you young.
7 grandchildren,1 great grandchild
Sometimes calm, sometimes wild
So many stories inside my head
My slice of their lives endlessly fed.
Time is fleeting, it flies so fast
Today is soon gone, becomes the past
Treasure those moments each day
Watch them as they play
Join in, it’s fun to build, to draw
Getting exercise, sitting on the floor
Bounce on the trampoline, play ball
Have adventure walks, catch them if they fall.
Making memories is joy beyond measure
Giving so many memories to enjoy and treasure!

As you can see I still enjoy creating rhymes. A special moment, a beautiful scene or something that touches my heart will have my brain busy making up a rhyme.
Hope you enjoy this small slice of how my life has changed.
