life goes on….

so, apparently, my wrestling match with the wal-mart basket aggravated my “issues” with the disc in my lower back…

when did i get so stinkin’ old?!!

i woke up the next morning feeling like someone had beat me!!  maybe i need to work-out more…or ever.

so, it’s made this saturday interesting -

but:

  • kayleigh ran to the grocery store.
  • ashley cleaned the kitchen - and lectured the boys about picking up their “junk”!
  • the boys…well, put away their toys and clean laundry…and got along…sort of.
  • byron rearranged our bedroom - while i “supervised”…and gave moral support… :-)
  • ashley helped me get a pot of gumbo boiling…so we won’t starve while i’m out of commission.
  • it’s raining while the sun is out…so there’s a rainbow somewhere.
  • i refuse to look like an invalid tomorrow morning on the platform, so…BRING ON THE ADVIL!!
  • with our new bedroom arrangement, i can see the waterfall from the bed… :-)
  • maybe the rainbow will shine in through the window…or it could thunder, that would be just as nice.

so, anyway, life goes on even when it’s not how you planned for it to be.  i’m just glad it’s a saturday and i can lay around all day and “supervise” (thanks to my family :-) ).

pain meds are kicking in, so i’m gonna sign out now…

peace.

Here’s to happiness…

Byron and I spent our honeymoon in Galveston…almost exactly 19 years ago.  Last fall we went back…

It’s natural to think that some things will always be there to revisit.  After all, Galveston survived the storm of 1900 that killed thousands of people…they survived and rebuilt.

Now Galveston is in ruins once again…our prayers go out to everyone displaced or hurting because of the Gulf Coast storms.

It’s hard to imagine that the very places we saw just a few months ago may no longer be there.

I guess I’m just glad that we went back while we could - I guess it’s a reminder that all we have is today…this moment.

This may seem like an odd thing to blog about on “Happy Wednesday”, but really it’s not.  I’ve been reminded that I should celebrate all the good things in life…all the blessings - every day…

…and especially on “Happy Wednesday”.

Here’s to not taking anything for granted -  every breath is a gift.

Now I think I’ll go hug my kids…

Peace out.
