I hate cleaning my house because it takes forever. I am one of those characters that have to clean one room at a time. If company shows up at the door -trash bags come out and i throw everything in to one and sought it later that evening. I collect books and cookbooks and ceramic frogs(rewaiting for my prince) and tea cups and tea and..........................................the list can go on.
Now I am downsizing and realize wow do I have so much things. I don't want to get rid of it all - just a little.
One chapter of my life has closed and new chapter is opening. I don't like the word widow so I have just accepted MS.
Life is like a mountain- you start climbing and there you are looking out at the top and wonder what is next. I used the words roller coaster - every turn changes and never sure what to expect. I am in my golden years which 60 is the new 40 and not sure which direction I am headed. I expect to work till at least 75, I expect to coexistence with at least two dogs. I am not a grandmother since none of my boys have children- their choice. I have wonderful great nieces and nephews and extended friends that have become my family. I doubt I will remarry again.
The word Normal is not me. And I don't know anyone that is normal anyway. We all have our little non perfections. I still love to cook and bake. I love to entertain guests at my house. I love to garden, I love watching tv and going to the movies. I love walking in the parks. I love being with children. I love being with my friends and family.
I hate trying to lose weight. I hate painting my house or anywhere else. I hate ironing but like ironed shirts and pillowcases. I hate cleaning leaves up. I hate ice roads. I hate cleaning out the refrigerator. I hate cleaning out the basement and finding unusual creatures.
I like washing my car. I like watering my flowers and plants. I love watching things grow. I walking in light rain. I love walking on the beach. I love sitting and watching lighting in the sky. I love listening to music. I love concerts in the park. I love watching my watching children play baseball and soccer.
I hate cleaning my house~
