I wonder if any other mother's stalk their children? Sounds kind of creepy; I know. The truth is; I check facebook and all of my e-mail accounts a minimum of three times a day just to see what all of my children are doing. What is sad is that my children are all adults now and have families of their own. They are very capable individuals and do not need me hovering over them or helping them to make good choices. In reality I am not stalking them even though it may seem like it. The reality of it all is that I use to spend a tremendous amount of time with them and I use to enjoy listening to them talk and watching them interact with each other. Yes, there were times when things were rough but the times that I found joy in being in their presence and watching them learn, grow and accomplish new skills far out weigh those hectic, stressful moments.
Tonight I am wishing that I had them near me again so that we could sit outside and enjoy this gorgeous night together. It is lonely being on this farm all by myself. I need to extend myself and form some good friendships so that I don't have to sit here by myself.
Does anyone enjoy watching birds?
