Wednesday Reflection

This morning as I was getting ready for my day, I stopped and reflected on something that I never thought about before.  It gave me some prospective and I wanted to share it with the 3 people who like and read my blog!
I was thinking about my 2 great aunts, one is well to do and has no children the other is well taken care of but has children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.  Then I thought about my grandparents, who are now both gone but still missed.  BTW, these are my maternal relatives.  I realized that my grandparents left us, meaning my sister and I, nothing upon their death.  They left everything to my deceased Uncles 2 children, who have no parents and now no grandparents either so the material things like the house and the little jewelry meant security for these kids.
Then it occurred to me that I got the best years of their lives.  They were young when I was born so I had 38 years with them, that was my inheritance.  I learned to cook, sew, clean, wash, garden, can, bake, love, laugh and even play Bingo from these people.  My values and everything that I am is because of my elders; because of the years I got to spend and the time invested in my future.  So I didn't get the china hutch or proceeds from the house or my grandmothers wedding band, what I got was the knowledge to keep the house and build my own china hutch and appreciate what I do have...that is something that can't be taken to the bank because it's priceless.

Happy Wednesday XXXOOO

Another year...and Friday the 13th

Well, I made it past September 11, 2013 with little effect this year.  Day of I found myself very sensitive as I stopped for all 6 moments of silence and fought tears, but all in all it was better then the first 11 years.
I also managed to escape Friday the 13th without incident...what are the odds 2 days that never work out for me fall in the same week and I come out unscathed?  Amazing, isn't it?

As some of you may have seen, I've started my own direct sale venture, I am now selling Lia Sophia Jewelry...If you need a fund raiser or just want to have some girls over and some fun, let me know.  Games, drinks and prizes to be had, not to mention hostess benefits!

On October 1st I'm having surgery to have my knee reconstructed so I think for the first few weeks of the month I will run a book party, so if you want anything feel free to visit my website: www.liasophia.com/lovelylia2013
