the present


Children have neither past nor future; they enjoy the present, which very few of us do.
~Jean de la Bruyere

some of the grands and their enjoyment of the present

cassie came down and celebrated with us and filled back up on all the love from family...including those precious little ones...her neice and nephews and we all got to have some cassie time and get our share of sister/daughter love too



bryan and i made several trips to california ~ you know me and the ocean....just can't quite get enough!



and in there also was a mammogram that came back suspicious....so an MRI was ordered for two weeks later and thankfully it came back normal!


so i am one thankful lady


a song on a cd that cassie gifted me for Christmas is a great reminder to be thankful for every day that we are alive!

i'm alive by kenny chesney


So damn easy to say that life’s so hard
Everybody’s got their share of battle scars
As for me I’d like to thank my lucky stars that
I’m alive, and well

And today you know that’s good enough for me
Breathin' in and out's a blessin' can’t you see
Today's the first day of the rest of my life
And I’m alive, and well
I’m alive, and well


and very.very.thankful
