Upland Coffee Shop

I am a daughter, sister, ex-wife, mother, aunt and with such pleasure now a grandmother. Today and that is the key word "today" I am also my own person. Though I have been blessed to have been all the above, I am now yearning to figure out who I am. I strongly believe that everything I've experienced in the last 46 years has made me who I am today. Thank God it is not in my character to regret my mistakes. I use to in my 20's and 30's but after seeking for answers and creating a strong relationship with God I have forgiven myself and others.

Maybe its losing both parents or divorcing after 21 years of marriage or simply my age that I am desiring to make changes in my life. Its like I'm searchin for something that's missing but I don't quite know what it is. So at times I sit quietly waiting to hear from my Maker what my next move is. There is one thing that I know I have to do and that is to offer my service. Since I was a teenager I've always thought I was going to travel all over the world and help the poor and needy and also work with the Aids Foundation. No excuses but I got married young and had 3 babies in my 20's and I wasn't the happiest person back then. Now its a whole different ball game....I'm not trapped in my marriage, the kids are grown and I have all the time in the world.

I'm tired of being concerned about my looks thinking that I have to look a certain way to catch a man. Its so vain and really that's not me. I wanna be more than that....I wanna bring something to the table that's worthy. Really in the end its for me and only me and if God willing I'll share my life with someone.....if not so be it.

This image has nothing to do with my write-up except that taking pictures is now a part of me. I love taking a picture, downloading it and wondering should I leave it alone or play with it. It was a beautiful night and I drove by the train tracks in Upland and found this quaint Coffee Shop. I should go back during the day when its busy with people coming in and out.

Have a great week everyone!
