Do you stop to reflect on your life from time to time?
Do you take moments to sit in the silence?
What does this time tell you?
With the coming of a grandson and reflecting on the seasons of my life
I pause, sip a little tea (of course), and wonder what the next seasons will bring.
I am picturing a different me in each of those seasons.
A young me that was care-free, but quiet.
A mom me that tended and cared for my children.
A professional me that went back to school at 40 years old
and had a wonderful career that I loved.
A retired me that once again is learning to play and
at the same time use my voice.
I am looking forward to a grandmother me that plays, laughs, and hugs.
Above all else I am still becoming the me I can love.
Be at peace dear friends and learn to love the you that you are.

Hi, and what a lovely thoughtful post. I too am still becoming and at the same time I have arrived. A combination of life's meanderings, surprises, joys, sorrows, and dreams.
Love Gail
peace.....
I so associate with this post Marilyn, as I go back through the seasons of my life, each one has shaped me to who I am today, and who I am today is going to help shape me into who I will become. Awesome post.
A very beautiful post, dear Marilyn!! Thank you. Gorgeous *reflective* picture, too. So wonderful.
xoxo, Trixie
I won't say this nearly as well as the quote I read one time, but it was something to the effect that as we age, we still keep all the other ages we've been before. And to paraphrase another favorite quote: "I wouldn't go back to my twenties for anything unless I could take my 48-year-old brain with me!"
Beautiful photo... beautiful expressions of self reflection...
What a beautiful, peaceful reverie. Your life will change in some ways -- how full your heart will be!
And, as soon as this came up I said, "I think that's San Simeon!" One of my favorite spots!
Each time I become afraid of going back to school, I think of your inspiring words.
