Our Annual "Pumpkin Patch" Day outing in Fall

Hello Luvs, 

Well...it's Fall already! Can you even believe how fast the time goes by?  So many things can happen in  one year and then sometimes the one thing you wish for to happen...doesn't.. But at least I don't leave my life behind and sit around and mope and cry and hope that my world changes before I can do anything. I figured that out a long time ago. You have to try to go on and do things, enjoy life in the capacity in which you can. You just can't give up or everything is ruined; including the lives of the people that you love and those who you really don't want to hurt or make miserable! 

Sooo..this is one of those "fun" things that we've always done and we'll always do because those kinds of fun things are the ways that keep us "grounded" and help us continue on when life throws all of those nasty "curveballs" at us! I say "hey, I don't even like baseball or softball so much! I never played it,never watched it and never really liked it! So how'd I get sucked into this "game" where all of these "curveballs continue to be thrown at me from every which way?  I don't have the answers..and though I have many questions...they won't be answered until the one day that I meet my "maker"...then it will all make sense and I will know what  and WHY? Nothing will then be a puzzle any longer and there will be peace.

  BUT....that is a loooooooooooong way from now, I hope! Until that day comes, I have alot of life to live. There are many interesting people yet for me to meet, friends to get to know better and grandchildren to love ( I hope?). I have weddings to attend and travel to exotic places to keep me busy for ..ohhh....maybe the next 60 years? Maybe even a bit more...depending on how long Craig is here. You see he told me when I met him that he will live "to be 105 yrs old". So I figure if I live to be 97, that's pretty good and then I won't have to live one day without him!  Ok..OK...all of this is just fun and thought provoking and possible speculation...but it does make us think, doesn't it?  Do the things that you can do now! Love the people who will accept that love you have to give and who won't stomp on it and throw it under a train to be smashed to pieces. That's not to say you cannot love those that don't love you back, because  it is not easy but you should still do it as much as humanly possible! Some day your love might be accepted just when you least expect it and then you will see how you could've lost that if you'd  given up hope.  Never give up hope! Time does go by, and sometimes it feels like it's going so quickly that you just.....or I just want to yell out "STOP....SLOW DOWN!!! It:s all moving too fast and I want to savor every moment that is good and shake off every bad one! 

  Lastly, yes....time does go by..minute by minute, second by second...but don't ever give up hope...if you do...then you don't know or may never know what lies right around that corner, on that certain date in the future that hasn't arrived yet..It might just be that cure for whatever it is you may have? It could be that long lost love of your life....It may be that lost sibling,child or friend that you have lost touch with...it could be any of those things. It could be something even bigger, we just have to wait to find out..Waiting can be very hard so you just keep doing fun things like the "outings to the pumpkin patch" and/or the zoo and /or a picnic etc. Just continue to try and relax, enjoy, see the bright side and  be patient because something might just come your way! Don't give up because I need you and we all need each other to help us get through those worse times when we feel that we cannot hold on for one more day, hour, moment! 

  I sure do know that as far as psychological pain and physical pain...both....you cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel on some days.....just keep on keeping on!!! I will if you will!? With peace, less pain, and blessings...and tons of love, 

SuzyQ <3
