I was asked not to post to facebook this news, so it is posted here. I am a Grandparent. For those that do not remember this is my first Grandchild.

The little girl, was brought into this world in the wee hours of January 8, 2012. Weighing 7lbs, 7ozs at 20 inches in length. Mother and child are resting comfortably, her father is attempting to get a little sleep himself.

I thought I’d share a little good news.

@JB: It is how we act that matters and not just for ourselves. We need to be ourselves and having found short comings strive to improve. We need to act with honor and courage for we do not act in a vacuum. Our lives touch so many others and we exert influence sometimes imperceptibly.

My first court date is Friday and while I have no real hope of busting this D I will not quit on myself. I will continue to act within my sense of honor. I will continue to be myself.

@Sunshine: Thank you, I was still dealing with some of the drama laid upon the kids. I no longer act upon it, but the angst created needed to be vented and placed in perspective.

@Val: Thank You! Not bad for an old grunt eh?

@Beingme: You have considerably more patience and fortitude than I. I believe we had a good marriage. It was certainly appeared to be better than the marriages of many people we knew. Time will tell if we will heal back together, or continue upon separate paths.

In 6 to 7 months she’ll have the document she seeks. Perhaps then she’ll stop running and begin to examine introspectively.

Journaling: The news above has lifted my spirits. I am very glad they are all safe, healthy, and resting comfortably. A very, very small part of me was hoping she would be born next Saturday.

Saturday I attended a local RV show and looked for my next RV. It will be several years before I will be able to afford another one, so this was just a look and see. Out of the hundreds of vehicles I found four that could work, one of which I really like. Perhaps in a few years I find the same model in a gently used condition.

I think it is important we look forward and make plans for the future and that is what this show was for me.

Sunday I took the dog for a walk in the park and a trip to the pet store. He has a spa day scheduled for the end of the month.
