some days....

:-) some days its not even worth chewing through the restraints.

That little saying just cracks me up and is oh so true!! Its been one of those days, weeks... Life is always changing, isn't it? And I think thats a good thing, tho I don't always like the way it turns out. Its up and down and sideways, skewed, crazy, chaotic and wonderful. I've been thinking on my life before Cady died and my life since. Again, I don't like it, but I really do think its a wonderful life. I got to spend her lifetime with her...and while thats a "duh" statement on one hand, its everything on the other. A lifetime doesn't have to be measured in units of time, does it? How about this...another one of my favorite sayings..."life is not measured by the moments of breath you take, but by the breathtaking moments". Thats it right there. I had a life of breathtaking moments with Cady, but I'm still getting them!! I'm sure she has everything to do with that too lol...she taught me, by being my daughter, to recognize those moments for what they are. Life :-) thanks darlin'

life and fun and heartattacks and cancer, ohmy!!!

This summer has been one heck of a weird summer!!! Blazing hot in june, mild and wonderful most of july....we'll see about august. I spent a fabulous few days with 7 old friends at Grayton Beach Florida, only to be called on the 6th day and told that my sweet daddy is in the hospital in the middle of a heart attack! Not fun at all to be 8 hours away from someone you love and feel helpless as well. My equally sweet bestest sister friend in the whole wide world of 36 years made the decision that we would drive home that night so that i could see daddy the next morning. He was sickkkkkk...heart was great, everything else turned on him and made him so sick for a couple of days, but all is well....because of that, they ended up finding a cancerous spot on his kidney which he just had taken out and is well on the road to a complete recovery. Again, Thank you Lord!!! Having said all of that, it has made me reflect on what is important in life and you almost always get down to the very basics of a wonderful life...healthy family, great friends that love you enough to do whatever you need and love....lots and lots of unconditional love :-)
oh, and really good sleeping pills lol. Lots of family to love on you and hug you and tell you it will all be allright and oh so much better tomorrow. For these things, I am soooo thankful.
and there is more to this summer....this is just a piece...
