I am starting this blog because I am always excited to see when someone posts a new blog and I get to see into their lives, their stages and phases. So I thought…why not a blog for me….A grandma. My views and thoughts into this new stage of my life…..Nanahood… What a great way to chronicle my journey! Here we go!...

When I entered the Nanahood stage of life, I had to think,  “am I this old?”  Imagine having grandchildren? But you see, I don’t really think I’m that old. It’s just that my son got married early and had a child, with one due any day, which I now call grandchildren (and they call me Nana in return).

Up to the moment I am writing this, I really never imagined myself being a grandma. I don’t really feel I’m that old. (Does one really have to look old to be called grandmas/grandpas?)

Being a Nana doesn’t mean you are old in age. It’s not in age. It’s one stage in life that you have achieved successfully. It’s one capability of a person having been successful in everyday struggles. It’s a testimony of how you have traveled life this far.

I am enjoying the company of this adorable granddaughter and expectantly awaiting a grandson due any day… the two-year old is starting to say many words… Nana, (Potts) for Pops, and says “2” when we say “1”. Knows her colors, and loves the IPad.

 She counting, …I’m starting to count too. The many blessings that have come to my life and the blessings that are still coming my way….

So, for grandparents out there, cheers!  It’s not an age, it’s a stage!
