I am a collector of family history - pictures, stories, facts - whatever I can get my hands on. I share that at It's All About Family. I started Thoughts From the Passenger Seat because I have a lot on my mind! It started riding on the back of my husband's motorcycle and on business appointments but I don't do much of either anymore but the thoughts are still there. I enjoy writing and I hope you find something that you connect with on either of my blogs. Thoughtsfromthepassengerseat.blog - Thoughts From the Passenger Seat NancyB422.com - It’s All About Family

As I edge towards my 60th birthday, I can’t help but to start thinking about my mortality. In my 20s, 30s and even 40s, I think I felt so invincible. Aside from the achy right hip, even now I work out every morning to Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 or 30 day Shred or a Firm workout but I still can’t help but think what’s in store for me in the coming years.

My mother died the day before her 65 birthday from brain cancer. Not a cancer that she lived with that traveled to her brain but out and out Brain Cancer. Glio-blastoma Multiforme. The most aggressive cancer that begins within the brain. Nightmare. Diagnosed January 31, 1987 and died April 4, 1987.

So I can’t help but think.

The Journey Begins…

Posted on July 1, 2019 by nancyb422

I think about a lot of stuff all the time. Personal, work, what someone said to me 40 years ago and what I should have said. You get the picture.

I have a lot of time to think when I’m on the back of my husband’s motorcycle watching the world go by. It’s not my favorite way to spend an afternoon because it’s so passive. I’m sitting there. Like Rerun – Lucy and Linus’s little brother on the back of his mother’s bike. But usually the ride involves lunch or ice cream so I’m game.

So this is just my way of getting those thoughts out of my head and maybe a little bit of the view along the way.

Thanks for stopping by!
