Ten things I am glad I DO know...

In no particular order, once again, to redress the balance...

One, is to have family, I know, who have loved me, & have spread the warmth of their love throughout my life.

The pleasure of a Grandfather. One I was lucky enough to know, though it was briefly, for only eight years.



The priviledge to learn to make porcelain dolls, & use a kiln to make my dolls become a reality.

The absolute pleasure of having long ago friends, who are still part of my life today. Not in huge ways, true. But we are still in touch, & still regard each other as friends.

This is two things I am glad to know!
The true joy of having pets to love. They provide a special dimension to a life.

Another item I was glad to know, was how to light, & maintain that Coal Range in the background of the pets' bed. My Gosh, it cooked a lovely Roast, & staved off many a freezing day & night!!

The wonder of having a Grandson. He is so Special & Gorgeous to me. I feel very lucky to have him in my life & family.

The absolute wonder of having a granddaughter. She has given us such pleasure in our lives. I am so lucky to know her.

The opportunity to realise my dream to become a Nurse. Too brief, but a dream become reality. I am on the left.

The opportunity to live in a place where I can regard the sky, & photograph it's many moods when I wish. A vast panorama, that can make me realise how insignificant, & trivial my moods & whims, really are.

Last, but not least the wonder of becoming a mother.

I dearly love my children,~ my babies, who are now adults~ & I love my grandchildren. I also loved my (deceased) step daughter, & my step granddaughter.

Our children are the true hope for our future.

As Mike has suggested ... only ten?

It applies to any list.

Any life...
