"GONNA DANCE!"

Has it really been almost a month since my last blog (sigh).  Well, as the trees and flowers start blooming, so will I venture out from my winter lethargy.  These lyrics popped into my head as I sat here with my morning Monet mug of coffee:
                                                               

                                                        Gonna dance, gonna fly, 

I'll take a chance riding high,

Before my number's up, 

I'm gonna fill my cup,

I'm gonna live, live, live, until I die!

I've been sitting around too long on my winter ass, and it's time to "dance" and "fly".....well, maybe just walk around a bit...celebrate the tulips and blossoming trees...the sunshine and this beautiful Mother's Day spread out before me.

What an incredible gift, to be a mother and grandmother, to spill over with love and joy in my world of hugs and laughter...to hear Rosie say "Nonny", to hear Bella trill "Beautiful Grandma" (I coached her)...to see Jake growing tall and handsome.

To have my wonderful daughter as my roommate going on a third amazing year together...To see my boys as husbands and fathers, strong and funny and so "there" for their lovely wives and children...living their lives with humor and intelligence and spirit.

What a gift is this chance to "live, live, live, until I die"!
