life

 Heard a story of a lady telling what a great family life she had come from, I kinda felt sad left out!

 I will say I did enjoy some of my childhood but only when I was with my brother for the most part.  Seems like he was there for me and we were together most of my childhood.

Now at 82 lots of time had passed and I take solitude in the fact that I have had a really good marriage , nothing like my mom or dads or even my sisters.  Guess you could say I saw alot growing up and was very careful when it came to choosing who I would marry! very careful! Joey has been that guy and he has taken care to provide well for our family and me , most days now are routine in these our later years. Kids are gone and life is pretty good!  Problems at times but nothing serious to speak of , lots more good things going on in our lives than not.  Don't get me wrong, I have had to work hard on my own personal problems which at this time many might not know or again maybe you do.  Even so I have tryed hard to have a upbeat personality.  My children, my family , plus people I worked with, my neighbors, all have added to my happiness.  I really want so much to be happy even with my insecurities. So in some things you could say I have struggled.  

No matter I do try to keep smiling!!😀
