Just a reminder

Good Morning!

I started to blog last night and I was truly overcome with tears as I started typing. I just can't "go there" right now.

Just wanted to remind everyone to enjoy your God-given day. Enjoy and appreciate your blessings. Love your family. Make amends. Smile. Be a good friend.

For those of you who are wondering where this is coming from...I have a dear relative who has been in the hospital and away from her family since December 5th. Out of respect for their privacy, I won't say much more than that. Every single day since December 5th, I have "lost it" at some point during the day. I never know when or where it's going to hit me. In the car. In Kroger. In the shower. In my bed at night. First thing in the morning. Lately the tears have flowed more freely and more often. I'm not sure why. Maybe because I see the toil it is taking on her family. I feel such sorrow and sadness, yet I realize that this is only a small fraction of how her husband, children, parents, and siblings must feel. It overwhelms me. My days seem so easy and it seems so unfair their's are so hard and full of heartache for their loved one. Or maybe the tears fall more often more freely because it's spring. The weather is perfect. New life is everywhere. But she remains in the hospital. And it's such a contradiction.

AA told me the other night, through tears, "I feel closer to God since this happened to Aunt B." AA said that she has prayed more, read her Bible more, and even found some Bible verses that she found comforting. Aunt B would love knowing that she helped bring AA closer to God.

Deep breath.

So please enjoy your day..........because you can.





Just appreciate what you have. If life seems tough or unfair, change your perspective.
