50 Things that REALLY Matter
 

I am off work today and catching up on some chores I have neglected while working out of town. I recently purchased a children's book of Bible stories I like in anticipation of my future GRANDchild/ren :)

Anyway, our bookshelf is getting quite full so I decided to allow some books to head to new homes. I ran across one my ex-wife gave to me as a gift for my 50th birthday almost 7 years ago. It is a cool little book on 50 things that really matter in life.

It was easy to let that book go...no :nono: not because my ex gave it to me ;) we were friends then and still 20 years after our divorce. I can give it away because the things in the book are other people's things...not mine...I have my own things that REALLY matter to me :)

One of them being the list of "50 Things I Love About My Daddy" that my daughter :hug: made and gave me on my 50th birthday :yes:

We all have people in our lives that matter to us, so I don't think we need to list them....but...events with them should most definitely be added.

I won't list all 50 of mine just yet but I will start with this one ~

One thing that REALLY matters in my life is that my adult children still take time out of their lives to make mine better....last night they gave up their Halloween evenings to dress as pirates and help Angie and I with our Trunk Or Treat event at church :) Awesome kids...just awesome :love:

Getting a phone call minutes ago from my son telling me my first GRANDchild will be a girl! :)

One thing that REALLY matters in my life is having the opportunity to vote!

Having two golden retrievers that love their walks really matters to me in life...

Thank-You KIDDO :)

I am a pretty happy guy right now :carrot:

woo hoo--congrats...I am destined to be grandmother to boys...keep hoping for an oops that turns into a little girl ;)

reconnecting with family and friends that I haven't been close to in a while and realizing how much I have missed them

Thanks Jules!

One thing in life that really matters to me is a sister that texts she loves me for no reason other than that.

Got a text from my son this afternoon....

Hey pops...want to meet me at our sportsbar on Saturday for beer and pizza and watch some college football?....

**** yeah!

Things that REALLY matter to me in life....

having a husband who makes me want to smack him at times but still gives me the butterflies when he gives me that smile after almost 25 years...

Another thing in my life that REALLY matters is....

the blessing I have of hearing my wife play bells in the bell choir at church..

this morning they rocked!

Congratulations on the upcoming baby girl. "Grands" are the best! A little girl will wrap grandpa around her little finger.

The simple things in life are what matter most to me. Family to love and laughs to share.

My husband, who loves and supports me no matter how ridiculous I am at times!
