gratitude for generations

Blog Posted by Kathleen Kroll: 11/12/2016 9:49:00 PM

It is late.  I'm relaxing, listening to music and taking a break from social media.  I find that social media can become addictive and anxiety prodicing at times.  So tonight I'm just feeling good about my determination to turn off the world.  Sounds a little ironic doesn't it as I write this blog, but I feel as if I'm talking to a very special community here at Poetry a Soup which allows some introspection.

The outstanding memory from today though is appreciation for the generations.  I had a good discussion with my son about the election and with one of my daughters.  I wasn't able to talk to the grands today.   I struggle with letting go of the grands as they grow up.  Being a long distance Grandmom, I can't attend many of the school/sports  functions.  So I work at staying in touch in other ways, packages. letters, phone calls etc.  sometimes they are more satisfying than other times.  I wonder what my legacy will be?  How will they remember me?  I suppose the best solution is to be the best person you can on a daily basis.  Today I' m so grateful for my children who are great parents (and aunt)  to my grands.
