Both my daughters have given me 4 grandchildren all together. They are Bailey, age 9, Hayleigh, age 6, Gabriel, age 5, and Zoey, age 3. Currnetly I am living in Ohatchee, AL. My life is filled with my daughters and grandchildren. My job takes me to Anniston where I work at a Residential Care Home. I've only been divorced a short while so I'm still figuring out what I'm going to do with the rest of my life.

Where Are We Going

When our journey on this earth begins, we come here with little idea of where we are going or how we are to get there. We are left here with others in charge of our lives for a space of time that forms and develops our beliefs about ourselves and others. By the time we are 5 or 6 years old, we encounter others who influence our lives and lead us on in this process of learning and getting to where we are going. When we are somewhere between 17 and 19 years of age, we graduate from one school of learning and enter another. Somewhere in this procss we embark upon still another well defined stage of life leading us to where we are going and perhaps take a partner to experience the ever changing development of the journey. then we spend the next 20, 30, 50 years of our life watching our bodies change, our arms grow tired, our feet and legs begin to drag, our hearts begin to beat with labor, and our eyes barely find their way down the hall to the bathroom. Now the only course of action is to grid up our belts and push on to where we first started--Where we are going. Everything we have experinced- every challenge, every disappointment, every obstacle, every victory is taking us to where we are going. How we deal with life on life's terms and what we do or did to make a difference in our outcome and the outcome of those around us is where we are going. Some one once said, lifes a stage and we are all playing a part. What's your part? And where are we going?
