Reflections on ... Responsibilty

Mineral Wells Index

By Sue Seibert | sue_seibert@att.net

Over the 70 years of my life I have taken on many responsibilities.  I have felt, and do feel, that I am an extremely responsible person.  I always have been.

Raf and I have raised children, taken care of family, assumed legalities, become care givers.  We have taught the children of Mineral Wells and have served on committees and groups in our community.  We have helped with grandchildren. But what we took on last Sunday was, in some ways, a greater responsibility than any of these other things.  We have taken on a responsibility for someone else’s child.  We became godparents.

We are godparents for some of our grandchildren, but, then, we were responsible for them in many ways already, and that didn’t change.

    That phrase was made into a graphic on Facebook by someone who was as tired as I am of the lack of proper spelling, grammar, punctuation and the use of language in general.

    Last weekend, along with our friends, Jim and Louise, we went down to Coffee Creek RV Park to attend the “Sisters on the Fly” camp out, with their displays of various campers that were hand painted and decorated. If you’re interested in photos, go to my blog at http://siouxsue.blogspot.com.

  • Reflections on Keeping a Diary

    Many of you knew my mother, Rose Ficke Sparks. In fact quite a few of you were taught by her, either at the old junior high that used to be the first high school or at Houston Elementary School.

  • Reflections on Patience

    I had a person whom I don’t know well at all tell me what an impatient person I am. My goodness, I didn’t realize it showed so much to those who do not know me very well; but, of course, she is right. I am. They say patience is a virtue. It is, but, sadly, it isn’t one of mine.
