Quiet, dark and coffee.
Sometimes I wish I had longer, but the clock keeps moving and the light grows brighter outside.
Crazy how much faster time moves when you get older. Some days seem to last forever but the years, wow, they fly by.
I remember celebrating America’s bicentennial.
1976
I was a 6th grader at Roosevelt elementary in Lawton Oklahoma.
44 years ago
44!
February 1983. Lawton Oklahoma
I’m in a ward room scheduled to have my daughter. Watching TV, trying to pick a name. Scared.
Alone.
I didn’t make anyone proud that year except me. I was proud.
January 1989. Neu Ulm Germany
Another hospital room surrounded by German nurses who barely spoke English, and my husband that translated so I wasn’t so confused. Another proud moment. Not alone, but Just as scared.
February 2003
Married my life partner. It’s been an adventure, but flying by oh so fast.
May 2003
My first grandchild. The moment she was in my arms, she became my Ladybug.
That was 16 years ago.
Yesterday, I swear.
If only life had a pause button.
And a rewind, I’d play it over and over. That would be worth a day long binge.
55 seasons of the life of Lorene. 🤣
What a reality show that would be.
The Kardashians have nothing on me!
You, yeah you, don’t worry, I’ll change the names to protect the innocent. ❤
Well, get out there and start living!
Go be your own reality show star.
I need more coffee….
Lorene
