In the Autumn of Life~En El Otoño de la Vida

Conexion article for October by BB.

Hola, Hola, Hola Beautifuls!

Babushka is 64. Some say she’s in the Autumn of life. 

Sesenta y cuatro? Otoño? Babushka, no has pasado ya del otoño?

Life ~ JU SO FONII!!™

Because here's the thing about reaching this season of life: 

BB is still growing, deeply grateful, and going strong.

Autumn has always been a season of change. 

The leaves turn, some fall away, and somehow the tree remains — 

different, but still standing.

And maybe that's what happens to us, too.

By this point in life, there have been losses. There are people BB would give anything to sit with one more time, un tiempito mas. There are memorias that can still bring a smile — or tears — without warning. There are lessons learned the easy way and, sí, plenty learned the hard way too.

There has been amor. There has been familia.

And now there are six grandchildren reminding Babushka 

that life keeps moving forward even while she sometimes finds herself looking back.

Recently, BB came across these words in “REFLEXIONES,” by Benjamillions:

“Aprendí que el tiempo pasa más rápido de lo que creí. 

Ayer soñaba con el futuro y hoy recuerdo lo que viví.”

“I learned that time passes faster than I ever imagined. 

Yesterday I dreamed of the future; today I remember the life I’ve lived.”

That one stayed with Babushka.

Because the years really did go faster than she thought they would.

But BB is not finished dreaming.

Not even close.

There are still things to discover. People to meet. Places to go. 

Cuentos to tell. Food to taste. Family to love.

And definitely more dancing to do.

Maybe that's the real beauty of el otoño de la vida.

You can appreciate everything that has already bloomed, mourn what has fallen away, 

and still look toward mañana wondering what might grow next.

At 64, Babushka has enough vida behind her to appreciate where she's been — 

and plenty of curiosity about where she's going.

So here's to autumn.

To memories.

To what remains.

And to whatever comes next.

Because as long as there's music playing...

Babushka plans to keep dancing.

Babushka Besos a Todos. Cuidensen.

Happy Cumples, BB! — 64 and Wanting More

 

Babushka had taken a little breakesito during the hot summer months. Meaning September wasn't hot here Up North in The South?  JU SO FONII!! Of course it was, pero it was also BB's Bday mes, so palabras and parties were in order. Aqui, the article written for Conexion Florida, a previous hardcopy, now online publication.  Moviendo con los times...

Hola,Hola,Hola Beautifuls!

Another birthday is here.. What was the win this year?

The answer came surprisingly fast.

Babushka made it to another year.

That's the win.

Sí, Beautifuls, some years are like that.

Sweetie has been gone three years. Then Pedro passed — Sweetie's cat, the last living piece of her husband BB still had. One Adios inside another.

Casa BB hasn't cooperated: a leaking techo, mold, electrical problems, and a crumbling trailer — all maintained on about $900 a month from a widow's pension.

Then Roxy needed a transmission. The warranty? Did Nada. The actress had one gig. Type 2 diabetes joined the cast, too. Gracias a Dios, it's controlled.

So where's the fabulous?

Finding the Fabulous in the Familiar does NOT mean pretending everything is fabuloso.  Loss hurts. Money worries are real. Roofs leak. Carros break.

It means viendo valor in the diario: café, music, laughter, a timely call, y familia.

BB's two girls live with her now. Sometimes Mama is the caretaker; sometimes she is cared for. Accepting care es parte de  family, too.

None of that repara the roof, brings Pedro back, or fixes Roxy. 

Pero it helps make some dias lighter. Perhaps that's enough.

At 63, BB loved, lost, worried, laughed, cared, was cared for, found the Fabulous inside the Familiar — and kept dancing.

Another year. Estás aquí.

Beautifuls... Still Here. 

ESO!!!

Happy Cumples BB.. 

And mucho, many, más.

CUIDENSE

MAYbe Si, MAYbe No.

 From Conexion to you, Babushka's article for the month of May.  

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

It’s May. As BB said in the pic, es Mayo, que Rayo!! In other words, where is this year going and how’d we get here so quickly? Oh, and Mother’s Day. Believe it or not, those thoughts are definitely connectable. Let Babushka illustrate.

May, almost mid-year. Let that sink in. No se about you Beautifuls, pero BB still has some Crisma decoraciones out. Honestamente, the putting together of tax info had Babushka reliving last year, and those decorations son cutisimos y always bring happy smiles, so porque no? That’s the reason and BB’s sticking to them.  😜 

Procrastination you say? Tal vez, pero daily dance is getting faster and faster and getting harder and harder to control. Kinda reminds one of parenthood. Vieron how Babushka is sliding into Mother’s Day?  😉

Just like our daily vida, the passing of days, is the passing of parenthood. Quick, with memorable moments and moments one would rather forget. (Puberty- ::Shudder::) And then the end of our dailies with los hijos. Ok si, if you’re lucky you get a daily text- ya llamadas are sooo yesterday, pero on the whole, most of us have fotos and memorias of that time.

Do you have your refrigerator full of yesterdays? Sweet and Bittersweet verdad? Went by quickly verdad? Hopefully this makes you take a quick break and a quick look back.

Has the year been corre corre or have you had a chance, made a chance to enjoy? May is el momento perfecto. Make the time to do that and to enjoy your Madre- in memoria if you aren’t blessed to still have her with you.

Babushka feels Bendecida to have so many good memorias- one of them is having you Beautifuls dancing with her. Anda, recuerdos bonitos, y realization of those now and to come.

Cuidensen.

Adelante Abril: From Burn to Bloom

 And so April is among us and in this month's Conexion BB does a little reflection on this year so far...

HolaHolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

If you’ve followed Babushka for a while you know ella Adora alliterations and honestly, this one just flowed. Maybe mejor dicho, it Plowed, porque so far this FireHorse year has been living up to its’ nombre- on Fire. Moving so fast, burning brain cells and prior ways of being, trying to force catch up y progress. Felizmente, the saying, “April Showers Bring May Flowers” and the freshness of Spring, brings hope and promise to this whirlwind.  

🌿 Growth & Becoming Quotes

"What we plant in the soil of contemplation, we shall reap in the harvest of action." — Meister Eckhart

"Every flower must grow through dirt." — Laurie Jean Sennott

"The day the Lord created hope was probably the same day he created spring." — Bernard Williams

"In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt." — Margaret Atwood

"April is the kindest month. April gets you out of your head and out working in the garden." — Marty Rubin

"April prepares her green traffic light and the world thinks Go." — Christopher Morley

"The earth laughs in flowers." — Ralph Waldo Emerson

"No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn." — Hal Borland

"Despite the forecast, live like it's spring." — Lilly Pulitzer

Just a few of the learned expressions and quotes for this feeling of necessary new beginnings.

Pero y’all saben BB’s fave.

Life~ JU SO FONII !! 

So don’t forget to laugh and enjoy it.

Babushka Besos a todos.  Cuidensen.
