ahhhh the Final Chapter

I always feel good when the end of the term comes.  This time I am sad.  I feel like I have made some new friends in this class and I shall miss them greatly.  This blog has been a great experience for me.  It has made me realize that I love writing.  I enjoy reading each others blogs and finding out about other peoples lives. 

So.................now I am ready to move on to the next adventure..... Look out world..... Here comes Ginger......

The end..........or is it the beginning?

I thought I would blog today about feelings... I am usually a happy and upbeat person, but today I am sad.  I think of the holidays and it makes me miss my family.  My mother is deceased and this was her favorite time of the year.  Its hard not to wish for just one more day with her to tell her all of the things that I should have told her while she was here.  My dad is in an assisted living facility and needs care 24/7 and most of the time doesn't know who we are.. I find this to be very sad.  It is a sad existence.  He sits all day doesn't have a time concept, for this I am thankful.  This is not a life for anyone.  He is not able to do anything for himself.  But I must say on a happier note, I do still have my Father and for that I am thankful. 

Be thankful for your family and friends for they are true Gifts from God.

I hope that the holidays bring your all Happiness, Joy and Peace.  I have enjoyed reading your blogs and receiving your comments. 

May God richly bless you all.....

Then end of another chapter in the book of Ginger........

Its hard for me to believe that another term of school is over... I totally love school and what it means for me.   I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.  I look back on my decision to return to school and I am forever thankful that I did it. .  I really enjoyed this Composition class.  It gave me the courage to share my thought and feeling with others.  I wish each and everyone of you the best of luck with your studies!!!  Thank you Professor Feraldi for sharing all of your words of wisdom and knowledge.  

Meaning of Life..........

What an experience that blogging has given me.  It has given me the opportunity to write creatively.  I thought I would share  something that means alot to me.  This week I opened the paper to discover that my doctor had passed away.  When I was a child, my mother took me to the pediatrician's office for care.  There was never a kinder or more gentle man as Dr. M. Bruce Martin.  This man was the perfect Doctor is there ever was one.  He took care of me from the time I was a child until I was ready to be married.  He had a kind southern nature and was always reassuring me.  I was fortunate enough to have him for my daughters pediatrician.  He constantly reassured me whenever I had the new mother questions.  I thank God that I was fortunate to have know him.  May you Rest In Peace, Dr. Martin.  You will be greatly missed.

Getting Older....

I always try and think of something catchy or different to blog about... Today, I chose getting older... I have never thought of myself as old, but lately, I sure have been feeling it.  I had a conversation with my manager the other day and we were discussing getting older.  We are both about the same age and we were talking about different things.  I told her that I didn't feel old, it was just my body... I like to think of each day as a gift.  We are such a privileged nation that we don't have a ruler telling us what to do.  We are a FREE country.  I am thankful that I live in a free nation.  Each day is a gift, live them, love them and share the love....

I'm not getting older, I'm just getting better.  I like to think of myself as a bottle of fine wine...  I am better with age....

C'Mon Get Happy

Happy - this is what I want to be every day.... Happiness is the key to a successful life.  I want this, so I thought I would share another story to make you laugh....

I am fortunate to work for a boss that has a sense of humor.  This particular event happened around Halloween.  Working in a veterinary clinic, sometimes there are different smells that make you want to hold your nose and gag.  So I am sure most of you will understand what I am sayin.... Our fax machine kept going off that day with faxes loaded from our other office with the heading "Help me, my head is hurting".... This kept happening over and over and over.. It was starting to get really annoying and finally my boss calls and says did you find the little present I left for you?  Of course I hadn't, although I had noticed a new smell in the air... he finally tells me to look in my drawer on the right hand side of my desk... low and behold - I found the source of the smell.  He had taken a skull - Halloween skull and removed the top of it and placed something gross and bloody in it.... He thought this was hilarious..... I didn't but I laughed anyway since he is my boss and you always gotta humor the boss.. I wouldn't have it any other way... he is the best...
