My  life has changed! My precious husband of many decades passed last year, so now my journey is solo.  He was the love of my life.  But God in His infinite wisdom gave me a wonderful family and some special friends to help me along the way.

In April, my younger daughter and I flew to California on vacation and we stayed in Hollywood.  It was my first time going there! Boy, did we have a wonderful time traveling, sightseeing and experiencing the flavor in several cities while there.  We saw several celebrities within feet of us too!

This year I’ve made numerous day trips to shop and explore in new places, eat at new restaurants and try new dishes with family/friends. Also, I’ve joined two new organizations at my church.  I’ve even taken a home cooked dish to church for the first time in years!lol  

In my home, I reorganized my pantry using storage bins and containers for the very first time.  It really is beautiful! In my garden, I’m growing some flowers and veggies that I’ve never grown before!

Learning to handle ALL the business aspects of daily living is an ever evolving work in progress.  I am having great success along with help from my loved ones.  I do feel blessed!

And finally, I took my car to be detailed for the very first time a couple of days ago.  Although, many of my firsts are due to necessity, I’m so thankful that God has given me the spirit to move forward and Enjoy Life! Each day is an adventure! I am grateful and looking forward to many more firsts.
