Sometimes you just hit the nail on the head! Recovering from the "foot injury" is taking more time than I would like. It has only been three weeks but this injury has made me realize that I should just quit my whining and get on with it. Many people deal daily with injuries or ailments far worse than this. A few weeks of flip flops, casts and the like are not deal breakers just slower downers....

Mediation, focusing on what is in front of me, - this is the new mantra! we shall see how it goes!
Birthday parties, vacations coming up - births of new granchildren for my friend! Nothing like being a grandparent, nothing compares to that love, you love your children but your grandchildren have a special place that no one else can touch! You don't "get" that until you expierence it! Once that happens you are hooked for life! So gratefull that mine are close at hand for visiting and fun times!

2 WEEKS

Wow, what an eye opening two weeks this has been for me.
My best friends son is gone, she will never see him again, never, never!
How does one go on? I pray for her, I try to put myself in her place.
All that happens is deep deep sorrow!
This has brought me to my knees in prayer, made me sob out loud, make me understand what it means to tell those you love that you love them, show those that you care "that you care" hug your friends, let them support you, let them be your shoulder to cry on, give you the kleenex when you need it, get the lunch for you. All those things that freinds do for one another.
How blessed I am to have these amazing people in my life. How blessed I am to have a daughter who doesn't mind reminding me to take care of myself and let other's help.
I will continue to remind myself of all of these things daily, so that should I forget, LIFE IS TOO SHORT to hold grudges, complain about things that really in the grand plan do not fit...

Meditate and breathe..
