Happiness is:
- Having a pale pink light bulb with a crucifix in it to use during air raid practice
- Aunts who showed me how to shave my legs against my mother's wishes
- Cousins who thought I was the cat's meow because I got to give out the Christmas Presents at Bopchi's Christmas Eve
- Relatives who cheered for me at recitals, even though I wasn't very good
- True blue friends from the 40s who are still true blue friends in the next millennium
- Doing cartwheels across Sun Devil stadium when we beat ASU on their own turf
- Having a loving 50 +year relationship which transcended lack of cash and plenty of clash
- Beautiful children - inside and out
- Sisters who have my back at all times
- Helping a company achieve its goals
- Improving a community of under served youth
- Children who became awesome parents
- Grandchildren - the reason I quit smoking 20 years ago- I want to dance at their weddings
- Children and grandchildren with work ethics to die for
- 80 and 90 year old aunts and uncles who call me on my birthday full of energy and life
- Knowing this 12 day blog marathon is over and going back to real life, not my history
I want a do-over here:
- Fluency in another language. - I'm looking for classes
- Not enough quality time with grand kids - one on ones are best and need to happen more often
- Still never learned how to do the twist - does it matter now?
What's next?
- Back to regular blogging - kids got me a website for bday http://www.lynnscrawford.com/
- Back to the gym - the treadmill awaits to help rid me of the winter bloat
- Plan my countdown to my 80th
- Sleep in tomorrow
Good night all of you who have made this a fun experience - you know who you are and you know I love you.
The day you did cartwheels all over the ASU stadium when UA beat ASU on foreign turf was the same day that you stood up with me when Bill and I were married 50 years ago Nov 2009. Thanks for being there for me. Love ya, Sue
