75th Birthday!

Wow, a whole decade has gone by since I've written a blog post.  Amazing. It's hard to believe I'm 75 already.  A little update on my life: I still live with my husband in Kenya.  We have semi-retired from our jobs. I work part time, just one day a week to keep busy and to stay connected with the hospital. 

We volunteer once a week in the children's wing doing music therapy. I'm still active with my neighbors in the community garden, though it has been getting harder on my knees. It's difficult to think about my body starting to give out and not being able to do everything I want to be doing.  It's also been a tough time having to go to more of my friends' funerals. I guess I'm at the life stage where it's normal to be going to more funerals than any other type of community event.

I figure I still have a good amount of years left me in though. I have some cardiac issues - CHF and hypertension - but thankfully I have escaped the diabetes demons thus far.  My goals for this year are to be an encouragement to someone.  I want to leave an impact on someone's life that changes them for the better.

Be blessed!
