Life goes on........

As we go through life time passes with out notice. Then one day you realize that 50 isn't so old (or far from your timeline or your there). Your child is grown and off living life. Songs on the radio bring lost memories. Memories of a simpler and carefree life, you catch yourself smiling. Thoughts come of how do we get back to that way of life? It's hard to believe we have lived 1/2 a century. It's normal to think 50 is far away when your 20, 3o or even 40.

We raised a family and lived life to bring a happy productive adult into the world. Then it was time to set her free. Life is just us again, we are a couple. Do we want to be, are we still compatible? Takes a bit of time to get to know each other after the child leaves to remember and realize we are still who we were when we loved deeply. The key is; do you love each other enough to love when it isn't easy? If you can do that then there is hope. Life goes on........

Now we're faced with the down hill slide of life and how to proceed? Well, vacation is always a favorite! Where and when to go next, is the question? Snow has fond memories, beaches have warm calming memories, what to choose? Such tough choices.

Work continues for 15 or so years (less if the lottery comes through) but retirement is with in reach. What will life be like then? I'm learning that what I think it is going to be is a bit different than what my spouse thinks. But with a little downsizing on both sides we can make both thoughts a reality. With God's continued blessings and some work on our part we will make it! Life goes on........
