I don't know about anybody else, but my life is one big, confused mess. I've been complaining about it for years and it just goes on getting worse. Maybe I do too many things, leading to things getting out of control.
My current feeling of being overwhelmed came just now as I sat at the pc to do this blog - there was an email from a previously unknown relative (through Ancestry.com), filling in a missing piece of the jigsaw of descendants of siblings of my grandmother.
Last year I organised a reunion of four lots of 2nd cousins, all of us descended from siblings of our grandmothers and now this person contacts me, apparently yet another 2nd cousin, descended from a brother of our grandmothers! I love it, even if it sets my head in a spin.
Moving on to the brother of the gorgeous little Grace, from Burkina Faso. Dad has sent a pic of big brother Tony:
Being in touch is so gratifying, and makes life worthwhile.
I got a big thrill out of my first WhatsApp experience, texting Michael in Germany the other evening (here) while he was playing a round of golf! And to make it more interesting, I was watching a doco about Germany at the same time, on the telly!
For me, people are what matters in life. Friends. This morning when I went to the local aquatic centre for an aquarobics session, it was lovely to be greeted by name by the instructor, one of the lifeguards, and one of the other participants. The beauty of the centre blows me away each time I go there.
