Jenerally Speaking

Well, my blog is an excellent example of how I live my life. I pursue something with such enthusiasm…to the point where I begin to neglect the basics of life. And then….I abandon it and the zest I felt for the once beloved activity quickly disappears. When I started this blog, I wrote every day…sometimes twice a day. Now…as my life begins to revolve around other activities, I find that I end up ignoring this activity altogether. Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, I do not know. But, this is how I live my life and how I approach everything in my life. Extreme highs and lows. Enthusiasm then neglect. I can only assume that many people live their lives in such a manner. I am always looking for the middle road…the balance…the in-between, but I have yet to master the art of balancing the highs and lows.
As for today, I am back to write again to my journal. Today, however, I have sad news.
My grandmother who has lived with us for the past few years, passed away this morning.
My mother found her next to her bed on the floor. She had a heart condition, so it appears that her heart failed her as she was beginning her morning routine.
I do know that I will miss her, but I am glad for the time I had to spend with her. I am glad, too, for the fact that my daughter had a chance to live so close to her great-grandmother. Many children do not have the chance to interact with their great-grandparents, but Meg has lived with both and she is lucky to have known them.
We’ll miss you, Oma. Give Ota a kiss and a hug for us in heaven. XOXOXOXO
