The Power of Suggestion

Ann's Anntics

Well, hello world. I am home tonight by myself. What a great feeling. My grandchildren were here tonight and my house is a disaster. My daughter left as soon as they did. I didn't even care that she left the mess because I love being alone. It is interesting to me that I have reached this point in my life. I am changing beyond belief. I can't get over really enjoying being with me. I am a pretty neat person.

It is interesting. My friend Anna who got me to start this used to tell me she liked being alone and I thought, why?? Now I understand. Because I have spent my life trying to make life good for other people and now it is my turn. TV if I want it, not if I don't. Heat if I'm cold, air if I'm warm. I pay the bills, I can decide the moves. It is awesome.

I am thankful for every step of the journey that brought me here. I have awesome children and wonderful grandchildren and I wouldn't if I hadn't been down that road. But now, I have the ones I love and I don't have to have someone beside me. I laugh and say I'm not a good picker. It is funny when I think about that because it truly is how I feel. I don't pick men well. I don't plan to pick again. In fact, I have given about five women in my life permission to take me out, literally, if I even mention getting with a man again. I'm counting on them.

On another note, I want to move to New York City. I am really debating this. I would like to go now, but I think I need to stay one more year. Anna is retiring and I would love for her to be able to come to see me and such. Maybe we can even travel some. Also, Amelia is getting married in Texas in October and one of us should really be here I am sure. Another is that I really think my grandchildren need me.

Oh well, enough rambling tonight. I will come back another day....as if anyone wants to know all this!
