Sunday Moments......

Sunday Moments.......The beginning of a new week.......To everyone who knows me...knows how much my Family...means to me.....my Heart...my soul...my being....today I find myself with tears in my eyes.....everything is good...bills are paid....everyone is good...emotions are a part of me...whether its laughing.......crying......dismay.....sometimes sadness invades me....we all have moments of sadness...it is all part of the circle of life.....I think because of my compromised eye sight....pending eye surgery....and my almost 21 year old daughter moved out....not that I do not want my children to spread their wings.....but when the timing is right....I want my kiddos to be happy & self sufficient.....I guess I am being a bit selfish.....but I really think my heart is hurting a bit.....I pride myself with the closeness I have with my children....its the unknown that has me thinking......will my eyesight improve IDK......but the beauty of the world that surrounds me....I must embrace ......now while I can.......I always tell my friends to look at the glass as half full......so now I must take my own advice.....So to me from me.......your glass is more than half full.....so drink up.......until the next time the blogging bug bites.......Cheers....
