Pomp and Circumstance

No, this isn't to address what is the obvious time of year for many--graduation. This is dedicated to the 'Royals'.
I remember, like it was yesterday, the wedding of Charles and Diana. In those days, before DVR, if we wanted to watch something we had to watch it "real time". So, there I was. Watching the wedding of the century. She was so young and beautiful, marrying her prince. There was so very much fuss over the matter. Every bride should be fussed over! The formality of it all, the pomp....the circumstance.
It is a new century. There will be a new princess tomorrow. I will, again, be watching. We will have the opportunity to watch Charles and Diana's first born take a beautiful bride to be his princess; him, her prince. It will, no doubt, be a beautiful occasion. There will certainly be pomp...and circumstance. It is a new era for the Royals. Blessings on their union. His mummy would approve and be very proud of her 'Little Prince'.

somber

Life would be so very boring if we didn't have the emotional fluctuations, wouldn't you agree?
It is a somber Wednesday, this week. My sweet young woman of a daughter must deal with the emotions of a miscarriage. We've had so many emotions running crazy in the last 2 weeks. First we find out we will have a holiday baby; get used to the idea; and now we must grieve over the loss. So much for a young woman to deal with...
Yes, my precious daughter, you WILL be a great mom.
I love you so much.........

Feelings

You remember that feeling I had not so very long ago that life changes were headed my way? Now I know what they are..........
I'm gonna be a Nana!!!! Yes, can you think of many things bigger than that?!
EXCITED!!!!!

Dreams

It occurred to me today that my dreams are simply little blips. You see, I have a dear friend who is going on an incredible journey this year, which was a big dream......now come true. I thought about that for awhile and decided I really must start dreaming a little bigger. I must take this one step at a time......or I'll become overwhelmed. Let's see...........I think I might continue my education, first, even at 52.
