Sometimes life gets so busy and I forget to take time for myself. With all of the babysitting I’ve been doing and other events going on in our family, I haven’t had time to play the piano lately. As a musician, it has been like living with an incomplete soul. This morning I pulled out one of my favorite books and began playing some music by Suzanne Ciani. If you’ve never heard her music or played it, I encourage you to give it a try. It’s beautiful, relaxing piano music of the New Age genre.

Little Eyes Are Watching You
The other day my two and a half year old grandson looked up at me and said, “Your shirt pretty, Nana.” That was the first compliment he has given me and will no doubt not be the last. It was so sweet coming from that special little guy.

Celebrating Becoming a Grandparent
Last week my granddaughter celebrated her seventh birthday. Along with celebrating her birthday, I also celebrated the date I became a grandmother. It’s interesting to compare the differences one day can have for each person.

In Appreciation for My Husband
For the past two weeks I’ve been under the weather and it was all I could do just to get through the basics everyday. Right now one of those basics is babysitting my three grandchildren pretty much every day. There were days when I would go fill glasses of water, change diapers, break up fights, and lie down in between each episode. If it weren’t for my husband, life would have been pretty miserable. Since his work schedule is flexible, he stayed home and helped out as often as he could.

Where Did All the Time Go?
Here’s another fantastic thought-provoking quote:
“Time flies. It’s up to you to be the navigator.” ~ Robert Orben
I love this quote about time. As I get older, it seems like time is flying by whereas before it just sort of jogged by. It’s getting harder to remember how long ago certain events actually happened. Sometimes it seems like just yesterday and other times it seems like centuries ago!

Life is What Happens When You’re Making Other Plans
As the saying goes, “Life is what happens when you’re making other plans.” I’ve experienced this several times in my life and I’m experiencing it yet again. I did not anticipate becoming a full-time babysitter to my three grandchildren at this point in my life but I am. They need me so it’s time once again to take a look at my life and make some changes.
