You Never Know

One day turns into another and very few are ever exactly what you would expect.  Maybe a simple blessing is not knowing what tomorrow holds.  A crushing event happens and your life and perspective can be changed forever.  Each day you appreciate the gifts you are given, the people that have been your rocks to lean on and a hand reaching out to help pull you up during difficult times. While never forgetting to fully appreciate your children's bright smiles, beautiful faces, incredible minds, big hugs, hearts and your spouses love.  I hope and pray that each day I am able to find the strength and have the clarity to take difficult heartbreaking moments and translate them into a continued and increasing appreciation for all the blessings in my life.

Just wanted to give a heartfelt thanks to my very dear friends, children and husband and both my Mom and Dad who have experienced the last few months with me and held my hand. I will always be eternally grateful to them for their understanding, love and the compassion that they have shown to us and each other.

On a side note my daughter's Halloween birthday party was a big hit. So much fun.  The Christmas season has begun. Decorations are up, shopping is a go and plans are made.  It is so hectic with homeschooling this time of year, but I think it is important to take time out for traditions, family and friends.  We are looking forward to everything from Christmas pictures, family visits, yummy allergy free feasts, Christmas Eve service, Christmas eve traditions to relaxing after the festivities.  May everyone have a beautiful Christmas season and no matter what happens remember to look through the storms, the sunshine will follow.
