Gkids – solo with the G


Best part of being a grandma is seeing the secondary results of all of your hard labor!

“A grandchild fills a space in your heart that you never knew was empty.” – Unknown

“Never have children, only grandchildren.” – Gore Vidal

“If I had known grandchildren were this much fun, I would have had them first.” – Unknown

Wintertime blues – NOT


We can all use a little more sunshine in our lives during the cool and dark days of winter.  So here ya go!!

“Even after all this time, the sun never says to the earth, ‘You owe me.’ Look what happens with a love like that. It lights the whole sky.”  – Hafez

“Following the light of the sun, we left the Old World.”  – Christopher Columbus

“And yet day and night meet fleetingly at twilight and dawn,” he said, lowering his voice again and narrowing his eyes and moving his head a quarter of an inch closer to hers. “And their merging sometimes affords the beholder the most enchanted moments of all the twenty four hours. A sunrise or sunset can be ablaze with brilliance and arouse all the passion, all the yearning, in the soul of the beholder.”
― Mary Balogh

“HEARTWORK
Each day is born with a sunrise
and ends in a sunset, the same way we
open our eyes to see the light,
and close them to hear the dark.
You have no control over
how your story begins or ends.
But by now, you should know that
all things have an ending.
Every spark returns to darkness.
Every sound returns to silence.
And every flower returns to sleep
with the earth.
The journey of the sun
and moon is predictable.
But yours,
is your ultimate
ART.”
― Suzy Kassem
