I am aging, so to speak, and looking at fun ways to live out the years left to me. I learned I have diabetes 2, my mother passed away almost 2 years ago from complications diabetes 2. I learned it is also a genetic disease. Probably runs in her family, as her father, and 2 brothers had diabetes 2 back in days of little information except what dr told us.
In the interim, I have been personally disappointed that my grown children have gone on to have their own lives, and seemingly have little to do with me. I am learning that is not unusual, so depersonalizing it as an issue. My husband's grown children are in the midst of their lives. Between us we each have one child who still puts value into holding onto mother and father's lives. I am learning to accept and adjust to what is rather than what I would want it to be - old ideas that seemingly do not hold the same values as I believed, and had in my era.
So enough about that, Gram's Gems is going to be about the fun ideas I am working on with my husband's supportive appreciation and often times his help.
Crafting, Sewing, Gardening, Cooking special diabetes diet, Traveling, Camping, Religion and Spirituality, Oil Painting, Blogging for fun, are among some of the things I like to do. My husband is doing meditations in early morning hours, music on piano, cooking, and lending a helping hand to much of what I would like help with - he is my Angel, to be sure.
