Today finds my thoughts and prayers with the men and women past and present, who so unselfishly risk their lives, to protect my freedom and rights as a United States citizen. I may not be happy with the political side of my world, but thankfully I am able to voice my opinion freely and my vote counts {or atleast that is what I am led to believe}.
Keith, Oliver and I went for a walk a little while ago on the waterfront. I love the ocean. Love the smell, love the sounds, love the beauty. The Ocean brings back so many wonderful memories…
Most Saturday and Sunday mornings as a child found me with Grampa at Castle Island in South Boston. Grampa would read his newspaper, I would fidget. We would walk out to the pier and Grampa would talk to the men fishing, or Grampa would fish, I would try not to fall into the water. I wish I could go back in time to listen to Grampa whistle while he was reading the paper. I promise I won’t fidget…

So…we find ourselves out of childhood into adulthood where everything makes more sense to us. We are raising our families then almost as suddenly as it began one day you wake up and find your ‘babies’ have spread their wings. Yeah, I am feeling very melancholy today. Holidays just aren’t the same anymore. Toni living in North Carolina just about breaks my heart everyday. Reggie is working today, and Matthew was heading to his girlfriends families bbq in Eastport. This empty nest syndrome sucks, and I am doubtful this feeling is ever going to end…infact, it seems to get worse.

7 days from today, I will be hunched over a computer taking my NCLEX. From what I am hearing from peers who have sat for it, I will either be dieing, or wishing I was dead. I am ready. Scared, nervous, and extremely anxious, but ready. I need to move forward, and the only way I can do this is to sit for this exam. Nikki reminded me that many Nurses do not pass it the first time they take it. And even if I don’t pass, no one can take my Nursing degree away from me. I just wait the alotted time and reschedule if worse comes to worse. I pray that does not happen!!
Well, I’m rambling, and I have some things I hope to accomplish. I hope you and yours have a beautiful 4th!! Talk to you tomorrow for our regular scheduled {Simply Sunday}.

Great pictures! love them. reminds me of some of the pictures we took when we went to the Outer Banks this week! Ocean was beautiful! I wish you the Best of Luck you will pass! Love, Aunt Sharleen
Your test is already one week from now? The test kinda sounds like the test to get your HR “degree”. It’s 4 hours and most people don’t pass the first time. But keep telling yourself that you can do it!!
