I just finished reading my cousin's Blog in regards to a blog that she had read. This blog was titled " Things to see as I die". Well, as gruesome as it first sounded, I realized that we all die in the end. And when I DO die, and have to go watch my life on the great movie projector in the sky, I decided to make a list as well. So here goes......
1) At 5 yrs old, laying on my tummy and watching the cluster of little blue moths in the grass flying about.
2) Stopping at Lane's Rd. north of Bakersfield to have a hamburger before continuing on to Papa and Grandma's house.
3) Iced Tea, beans, enchiladas, fried chicken/gravy, made by Grandma C.
4) Hugging my grandparents.
5) The love I felt as I looked into each of my babies's faces, thanking the good Lord, for such a wonderful opportunity to raise children.
6) The love I feel when I touch my husband, Chris.
7) The love I felt for my first grandchild, Camille.
8) The confidence I felt when I actually earned more than Chris one year,which meant to me that I could actually make it on my own if I had to.
9) The confidence I felt when the boss said, "if I knew you were going to bring in over a million dollars in sales, I would have raised your target".
10) I would want to see where each time I learned something spiritually significant.
11) I would like to see my Mom and Dad again.
12) I would like to see my dog, Sarah again.
13) I would like to see my grand parents again.
14) I would like feel the joy in seeing the crystal clarity of the Tasmanian sky.
15) I would like to feel the joy in seeing beautiful flowers in a garden.
16) I would like to feel the joy in returning home, confident that I have brought something useful to share for all.
Thanks Beth, for sharing this with me and allowing me to travel down memory lane again. There's many other things I could write, but I have to think about them first.
Reading this list brings a tear to my eye as I remember each with startling clarity. I give thanks to the good Lord, for providing such wonderful memories to me. I can only hope that I bring wonderful memories to others as they have brought to me.
