Life happens...

ever so quickly. There's no pause button, to allow us to savor certain moments. There's no fast forward button to get past the pain and hurt of things or to advance to the good things that are waiting for us. There's no rewind button to take us back to a point in time that we wish to do something over, or differently. It just happens - and we deal with it as it does. The old saying was that there were no do overs in life. I believe that to a degree. I also believe in some instances, we do get those chances to take a different path. It doesn't always happen, but how great are those times that we can. Life, this year, so far has been anything BUT uneventful. Where do I even start? In the beginning of the year, my husband almost lost his father. It was a simple, outpatient procedure that millions of people have done every day and yet there was a "glitch" with his. Or a mistake? Who really knows. In any case, he spent several weeks in the hospital and at times we were almost readying for his passing. Of course, when these things happen, you want to be optimistic and hope for the best, but you also reach a point where you say, "Ok, we can't live in denial, we need to start accepting it". But, lo and behold, through the bond of family and the prayers of many, AND the Lord above, he came home to us. A little rusty at first but things are back to normal, for the most part. : ) SO thankful that God didn't decide He needed him more than WE do. ........ To be continued.....

Fancy Catch Up

What a slacker, indeed! I haven't updated my blog since April? Seriously, Dawn. That is way unacceptable. It's not due to a lack of content that I have been missing in action, but rather all the events that have been keeping me busy. I can't even update in one blog post. I know you'd be fast asleep by the time you finished reading and your hand would surely fall asleep from all the endless scrolling down. I will just say that I'm back and I promise to keep an updated blog from now on. It's not only good to share with the rest of the world what's happening in my life, but it's also an outlet for me. Not that it'll restore my sanity at all, but it sure helps.
