Over time our traditions change. A new and welcome traditions we've added to our schedule is to have dinner with our son and his wife about once a week at our home. I love preparing a nice dinner for the two of them and my husband, and I truly enjoy the intimacy of a small gathering where we really get to hear each other's stories.
Another new and welcome tradition is a series of walks and talks with friends as well as my weekly meal and visit with my parents. As this new post-teaching chapter takes root, new traditions are emerging that bring warmth, peace and love to my life. Onward.
