3:00am and Senior Year

REALLY?!

 Every so often I'm awakened around 3:00am from the years of being on morning radio. Then I'm stuck with not being able to shut my thoughts off and go back to sleep. This was one of those mornings. It's coming up on one year I found out that I had breast cancer and as that day approaches it kind of gives me anxiety. Oh I'm happier than a possum in in the corncrib while the dog is tied up, but those feelings when you first hear - well, those never, ever leave me. 

I started to think back to my senior year in high school as I have a nephew that will graduate this year from Aplington-Parkersburg.   Then I started to think of my other nephew that is a senior at Quincy University. Seniors. One high school, the other, University. What a great time in their lives. One will be going off to College or University with all of the fun and anxiety of being a freshman, again. And I'm not sure what my other nephew will do, but I know he has talked about Grad School. I'm proud of him for his tennis scholarship and doing well throughout his last four years. It will be exciting to see what his next plans are.

 

Two different times in their lives, but both Seniors. My wish for both is to live life to the fullest as this is one of the best times in their life.


Grandma Becker's entry for September 17, 1990
"48-chilly last night. Washed, Baked freezer bread.  Gerald on errands to see about the car. Partly cloudy this P.M. Brought the little heater upstairs.  Gerald fixed screen (shower) on tub. Got repairs from Daltons. Eva called - talked to Mo Rohde-they got back from California yesterday".


It's a great day to be alive~make it a great day!
