Lovely Blog! I think sometimes in life we feel like we can't go on due to relationships, problems etc., but knowing how to rebound and find the true reason why we want to live is the best joy anyone could have...To me living is loving yourself, God and happiness will fall into place after that.

thanks for the lovely comments. i think my reason for sharing is because i have heard so much in the negative lately that i want people to stop and think about their whys. no matter how bad life is, you can always find something good if you dig a little deeper. even if it's only watching the neighbor's cat stalk a bird. as long as it's not your bird, of course. lol!!!

hi karla,
i'm doing great. life has a habit of doing what it's going to do and i keep sticking my tongue out at it. every time i get over one obstacle, a new presents itself. when all the obstacles are over with, i am going to be one strong lady. today we are having a birthday party at McDonald's for my grandson. he turns 7 on the 8th. i can't believe how fast they are growing. he called me last night to inform me that he left his backpack here and that i had to bring it to him this morning. what a hoot.
how are things going for you? are you enjoying what spring has to offer?
thanks for checking in with me. i can't help but love this roller coaster ride of life. you never know what's going to happen next.

hey karla,
tell your mom congrats. as i can testify, it's no fun being alone. i think it's great she found someone special. what do you mean no hitches. without hiches you have no really cool stories to tell. those hitches become special moments later on, when you can laugh about them.
ryan's birthday party was great. unfortunately his other gramma took a turn for the worse the next day and died last night. she was in her 70's, diabetic, on dialysis with kidney failure, and had a heart bypass last year. the doctor said she just gave up and joined her husband, who died a year and a half ago, in heaven. it's hard on my son-in-law, losing both parents so close together, but he knows they are in a better place. the funeral is saturday. it won't really hit the boys until then. ryan is 7 and zack is 5.
i think we skipped spring and have gone right to summer. it sure is beautiful out there.
it must have been about 75 today and going up into the 80's this week-end. whoo-hoo, my kind of weather. keep your fingers crossed for saturday, we are planning on having the wake outside. no one wants to be cooped up inside after the winter we have had.
enjoy the wedding. hope you have great weather too. it's not everyday a daughter gets to watch her mom go down the isle. don't forget to have the daughter/mother talk. you know, it's opposite the mother/daughter talk. do you have a brother to "talk" to the groom? send pictures..
