Today I've felt good about life, my life, our life. Ruby may have cancer, she may have aggressive cancer, or she might have something else, something not so major. And as I've lived the past few days, I've felt good about what I'm doing. We aren't planning trips to Disneyland or avoiding work that needs to be done. We are having family prayer, eating together, doing homework, going for a walk. I'm thankful to feel good about what we are doing.
On our walk we stopped at a neighbor who is renting and recently moved in, but I haven't taken time to meet. It was good for me, even though it was only a 10 minute conversation. If I don't get outside myself, its so easy to start to suffocate in my own bubble.
Not much sleep for me last night so I was a tad cranky with my family this morning. I knew I was going to go workout with my sis in law and I'm so glad I did. Her mom/bff recently passed away, and I knew that my bag of excuses wasn't anything to sit and pity about. So, the therapy session began as we tried to warm up doing some cardio, then some weighted exercises, all while taking breaks to cry and hug. It was a really good therapy session for me. It made the day bright. I love you B.
"I was brave mom" She said after giving her a bath and changing her band aid. She's been mentally super touchy about getting near her left side, but today she relaxed a bit.
Our back yard is part grass, part jungle. So thankful to the Young Men and leaders who helped trim our crazy bushes in the crisp evening!
Liz has picked up Jane from preschool the last two days, and today dyed Easter eggs with them while I cleaned up the kitchen. They had fun, I got things cleaned up like I wanted. Win Win. Thank you Liz!
Fixed that link to the talk I put in the last post, sorry for the error!
