Sneeze

Honey reminded me today of the day we were in chapel at Trevecca. Everyday at 11am we had to go to chapel for services. Dr. Mackey was the speaker for the day, he could be very interesting  therefore the chapel was quiet with everyone really listening to every word.  I was listening every so quietly and before I knew it I sneezed! Yes I sneezed and it was not quiet thanks to W.C. Leonard. His sneezes were booms and always in threes!!!! I froze when I realized what had just happened. Dr. Mackey just as if it was part of his sermon said"God Bless You" and continued..I was so embarrassed and honey just about died. He is and was so solemn in those days could not believe the noise. I became aware of when I needed to sneeze from that time on....
Sometimes things happen and we cannot stop them. They get bigger , louder,  as if there is nothing to stop them. When we married I was so happy, blissfully unaware of what was to come over the next few years. Would I have changed it if I had know? don't think so as that was the way things were in the 50's. Because  I am who I am and didn't really realize what I was. Only as the years have come and gone that God has made me aware of many things. Changes have been made but basically we are who we are. God made me and there is no wrong in His making.  I do not want to get philological here as it could get pretty unpleasant.!!!! Not in my doing. I love to laugh and make things pleasant. I think that is a doing of my mother. I miss my parents and nothing can change that. God rest their souls.
Now honey  he likes changes, can you tell , we moved about 23 times in our 50 years...even in our paper route he has changed the route about 5 times. Last night he did it again and I get so turned around. So afraid some one will be missed then the dreaded phone call.....yuck!!! He seems to thrive on doing things different.  Will tell about some of those changes later...I love you honey. thanks for putting up with me.
Thanks grandpa for listening to  this little girls chatter. love you  J

Do you think it is change or just boredom?? Most humans are resistance to change..The first words out of his mouth are always "NO"!!..I think he just likes adventure .....

He does like adventure...I think his saying "no" is a habit since he is not a talker "per say" like me he is not sure what to say...you are right it is boredom....thanks for the comments...
