The link between grandparents and grandkids is such a wondrous one, both to observe and to experience. May you have many more happy birthdays, filled with time to be with those little ones, even as they become bigger ones. Because, after all, as you have so ably noted, time does indeed pass, faster with each year.dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11991172981000479793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-9801419293122435432011-09-07T18:37:10.290-05:002011-09-07T18:37:10.290-05:00Well, happy birthday Glynn. :) This is a great pos...Well, happy birthday Glynn. :) This is a great post--feel as if I've taken a leisurely stroll while talking with a friend.

I’m not frantic to accomplish all of the things I still have on my to-do list; in fact, I don’t have a to-do list. If I have any list at all, it is more of a to-be list...<br /><br />right here... this grabbed me. I cannot "be" and transform if I am running to catch up and "do" as time accelerates in my aging. It feels so much better to step out of the whirlwind and feel the breeze rather than be caught up in it. <br /><br />Which reminds me... Happy Birthday... blow gently on those candles and give thanks for each one.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00991524097486901864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-6392195839665970992011-09-07T08:42:19.757-05:002011-09-07T08:42:19.757-05:00I did enjoy the link between the generations... ve...I did enjoy the link between the generations... very nicely related.Savira Guptahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17463773284421101573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-57523840172649935772011-09-07T08:18:01.931-05:002011-09-07T08:18:01.931-05:00a to-be list; I like thata to-be list; I like thatL.L.
