Family ties are precious
things woven through the years,
of laughter, love and tears.
Family ties are cherished things
forged in childhood days,
by love of parents deep and true,
by tradition, by family ways.
Family ties are treasured things
and far though we may roam,
the tender bond with those we love
still pull our hearts toward home.

GOOD MORNING !
I’m up and sipping the good coffee and very thankful for it this morning! It always seems I’m totally worn out by the end of the work week and it takes all weekend to feel human again.
My job isn’t hard at all , but the days are long and my energy fades fast. I had the energy when I needed it raising my family and now it’s time to take it slower and enjoy life more. I just need to adjust to a different me, I guess.
Last evening I gave myself a badly needed hair cut, maybe that’ll help add a little bounce to my step. After wearing my hair short for many years, It feels like it weighs a ton when it starts to grow out. An inch or so does make a difference.
It is Friday , my favorite day of week and I’m off to work once more. Another sunny day here they say!
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Every sunrise is a present,
A gift from God above,
Gift-wrapped with scarlet ribbons,
Tied with bows of love.
Each day's a new beginning,
A time to start anew,
While all the stars are sleeping,
The rose is fresh with dew.
Each day's a new creation,
Too lovely to ignore,
We may find a blessing,
Just outside our door.
We cannot keep the past,
Like fireflies in a jar;
Nor journey to the future,
By wishing on a star.
Every sunrise is a blessing,
A gift for just today,
Rejoice my friend,
Embrace it before it fades away!

I know just how you feel ,I found I was putting all my energys into my work ,and was totally used up when I got home that was when I decided to retire at 64 ,now Im so busy doing my own things I couldnt fit work in ....love Jan xx
There was a time in my younger years that I could never see myself as wanting or needing to slow down. However, that time has arrived and I find that I relish it. There is no longer a race to the finish line, just a leisurely stroll along the path of life and I love it this way. I get to see more, experience more and enjoy more and it does not leave me tired and breathless, only amazed at all the things I had missed before when I was in a big hurry. As much as I hate the thought of being "old", I really am enjoying this time in life. I just wished that I could be retired and well off financially so that I could enjoy it even more. However, like many of us, it is off to work I go for another few more years yet. Groan.
Have a great weekend, my dear! I hope you enjoy it and get some rest, too.
