Shirley's Story
Life
I married twice, divorced twice, and had six children. I have seven grandchildren, who are one of God's most precious gifts. I also have two great-grandsons! I write poems, I am working on writing two books, one for children and a romance novel. My friends have asked me to do the latter, so I figured I might as well give it a try. At the very least it keeps me busy.
My current age is 65. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be senile and feeble. I was so completely off the mark. While my body doesn't do what it used to, my mind still thinks I'm a kid. I can't count the number of trees I see that I want to climb like I used to.

ll would probably describe me as being aloof and stuck up. I don't know why, I never have been, but that's what people tell me.
If I got one do-over, I really think I'd pass. There are many things I wish I had done, and many things I've wondered about but never acted on, and I could be in a very different place in life had I done things differently. But I remind myself that the best part of my life revolves around my kids and grand-kids, and if I hadn't lived life as I did, I probably wouldn't have them now. No, there's nothing I would change, given the chance.
UPDATE 9/13/15:
I now have another grandson, Zane Poling, 14 months old, and a brand new great granddaughter, Quinn McAnally, born yesterday, 9/12/15! I am as happy as a person can be.
