Saturday

I continue to marvel at my blessings.  This week was a super busy week, with something every night.  Last year I was not able to do much of anything and this year I made it to each event and enjoyed it!  Tired?  Of course, but still pretty awesome!  I so appreciate the opportunities that God has granted me with better health!

As Mothers Day comes tomorrow, I think about my husband and children.  Many times I asked the Lord to take me to my eternal home and now I am thankful that His answer was no.  This celebration of Mothers Day is a joyful day for us, but for many that have lost a mother, it really is a sad reminder of those that are missed.  I am thankful that my husband and children are celebrating and not mourning on this day.

We had a recital today that was impressive, a concert last night that was outstanding and enjoying each event was an accomplishment that I don't take for granted.  Kyle and I celebrated 21 years of marriage on Thursday.     It is such a blessing that we made it to this milestone!  I am so thankful for a husband that has loved me and stood beside me in the "sickness" part of our vows of "in sickness and in health."

My strength is improving very slowly.  I know that I am improving.  Of course, I could always hope that it would be faster, but for now I am thankful that I am continuing to move in the right direction rather than the wrong direction.
