Remembering 911 Finally another blog entry... Late again but it was written on September 11th. I would love to hear your thoughts! Please feel free to share it if you find it thought provoking! September 11, 2001.The world changed that day for me as for many of you. I had never experienced the feeling of being threatened by terrorist activity on North American soil. I still recall where we were and what we were doing the moment the world changed. For me, it was a regular wo...rk day. CBC was on the radio while I was getting dressed for work. I remember the newscaster with a news-breaking announcement. The twin towers have been hit!. I immediately shouted down to Nick and turned on the TV just in time to see a jet exploding into the second of the twin towers. We were in a state of shock. I can’t imagine the panic the people in New York must have felt. I was safe in my home with my children and trying to continue a sense of normalcy. My children had breakfast and got on the school bus and I left for work. The people in New York were fighting for their lives and the lives of others. living in a nightmare The following weeks it all sank in. My children were fearful of the news of possible war. As a mom I needed to respond and offer reassurance in the future to my family. I remembered a time when I had felt that same fear and uncertainty. Thanksgiving Day came. It was then I found it. An article I had written years ago. It was based on my great-grandmother’s memoirs. It was ironic that my great-grandmother was speaking to me again as she had so many years before. O Canada GENERATIONS A Great-Grandmothers’ gift inspires hope for the future Sharon Smith-Woronuk I never knew my great-grandmother but she gave me a gift beyond compare. In the early 1980’s,my husband Continue reading http://sharonworth.com/remembering-911

Facebook Life is What Happens While We Make Plans It’s been awhile since I added to the blog. What a month. It started out with a nasty viral cough that lasted over 3 weeks. Mid- April my heart was broken with the horrendous crash in Saskatchewan of the Humboldt Broncos hockey players. Then the month ended with my poor mother breaking her hip again last week and ending up with a hip replacement. Needless to say any plans that I had made went out the window with the blog inclu...ded. April is now over and life goes on. It reminds me of a wonderful surprise in April of 1999 that threw us for a loop. It was Easter time and we were all excited. My sister Laureen and her family, and Nick and I and our family were heading to Vauxhall to mom and dad’s place. As Laureen was from Regina and we were from Calgary, this meeting of family was always a celebration. However, when we arrived this time my mother was quite serious. She looked at us and said, I have something to talk to you about when we have a chance. This left my sister and I with a bit of an uneasy feeling. What was the big discussion about? Many thoughts passed through our mind was Mom or Dad unwell? Finally on Easter Sunday night after supper with the kids all in bed, my mother said, I have something to tell you. Trying to lighten the conversation I piped up, You’re pregnant! as this had been a common announcement over the past few years. To our surprise my mother said, Well, sort of. We all looked at her quizzically as she looked down placing her hands folded on the table. A brief silence followed. My mother began to tell the story she had ....

20 years of Rock and Roll! Happy Valentine’s Day! Continued. April came and went with exams and a few dates. I had a May practicum for nursing so that allowed us to get to know each other a little better before I had to leave and find work for the summer. I worked at the Do Drop Inn truck stop as a waitress. There was a summer trip from Nick down to Vauxhall to see me. Then back to University for my 3rd year. I no sooner got in the door than my roommates were reporting, N...ick called!. Fall semester was a busy one between courses and assignments, but we still seemed to look forward to squeezing in time together on weekends and we even splurged on Big Mac’s for dinners now and then. By November our relationship was getting pretty serious. It was around that time that Nick heard on the radio about a contest by Ben Moss Jewelers for a 750 dollar diamond ring through 630 CHED radio.

It's been a while since I posted. I am not to sure whether to continue posting or not. But since it is Valentine's Day this week I was in the mood. There are quite a few songs that I've written about love. My husband Nick is my inspiration. I thought I would start at the beginning. Here it goes.... How I Met My Valentine I always enjoy hearing stories of how people find love. Most seem to be by chance. My story is no different. We were only 19 at the time. It seems very young... by today’s standards. Nick and I had both lived in the University of Alberta residences the first year but we never managed to meet at any of the functions we attended. Nick was too busy studying and I was studying nursing but really enjoying life. I had come from a small town and coming to residence gave me a chance to have fun. Still, there was that desire to meet that special someone. I hadn’t dated much and really wanted to meet that person that I could spend a lifetime with.
