One of the hardest things I have had to do was sending my kid to college.

Whether our kids stay home after graduation, move away to college, or start working in the work force, there is a lot of transition that takes place.

Transition for the young adult and for the parent.

My son is now about to graduate college, and as I look back over the past four years, they have been the toughest years I have faced as a Mother.

he pollen here is horrible.

I have never ever been prone to suffer allergies, until now.

Oh. My. Goodness.

I have coughed my head off during the days and even worse at night.

One day last week, I had to run into the grocery store bathroom due to a coughing spell that would not end. It was loud, oh so loud.

Today I had my second tennis lesson.

Tennis is hard.

I didn’t grow up playing tennis, so it’s not something I just hop back on, like a bicycle.

At my age, learning a new sport is NOT EASY.

My daughter decided she wanted to learn to play, so I signed her up for lessons.

Since you need someone else to play with in tennis, I decided to take lessons as well. I wanted her to have someone to play with and practice with.

My first lesson was rough.
