I have been so caught up in daily happenings in my life for the last few months, I have not taken time to reflect on how I feel. I just looked my granddaughter Nicole's blog and felt so inspired by it. She is so centered and has grown so over the years, it makes me so proud of her. She loves and appreciates her life and her family and friends; she is so intuitive. She is taking time to "smell the roses." She is such a good example for me to help me to be more aware of my own life. I so often allow my life to run me rather than the other way around. I just enjoyed a super celebration of my 74th birthday and Reeves family made me feel so special. We were in Fallbrook (just north of San Diego) and in Barstow for a niece's wedding. It was such a special time to be with family.
