My Life is a Blessing!

I love waking up in the morning and realizing how much my life has changed and how much more it will change as time goes on.  I have a wonderful husband, who accepts me for all my faults and quirks and I love him like crazy, daughters and husbands that I adore and my grandchildren who I am totally addicted to.  Then there are my dogs, Harley and Milo that I can't imagine driving down the highway without them.  Not only do they keep us company on the road but they are a girls best friend. I have to admit, I love driving truck with Mike.  It took a long while to get use to being with him 24/7 since a greater part of our marriage I was by myself and he was on the road. But now, I am lost without him, even if I just go to the store.  I find myself turning around to say something to him and then I remember he's at home.  We make each other laugh, we aggregate each other at times (especially when we're tired) and we confide in each other.  I am hoping this is what other trucking couple experience otherwise that would be a miserable truck to be driving in. I see so much when we are on the road.  The beautify of America always astounds me.  One minute its rocky cliffs the next is majestic mountains.  The weather? That's another subject and at times a fearful thing for a trucker.  Sunny in Salt Lake City, Utah and blizzard conditions by the time we get through Spanish Fork canyon into Price, Utah.  When the weather gets bad is when I turn the wheel over to Mike since he has the most experience.  But as time goes on I am getting braver. I love saying my life is a journey. During the week I am busy driving, making deadlines, meeting new people and by Friday I am exhausted. But come the weekends? I rejuvenate being with my daughters and granddaughters. I love having one on one time with each of them or get together in a big group and just laugh the time away.  I have always questioned what kind of mom I was and always fearful of the job I did or didn't do but when I look at my daughters and see what kind of citizens/Americans/people, I know I did something right.  Now come Sunday, I know I have to get back in the truck but I've had such a wonderful time, it's hard to do. But once we are on the way, I am ok.
