Random Thoughts about this time of year.....

It's the holiday season and I honestly can hardley believe it.  I have all my tree's up it still doesn't seem possible. We had a great Thanksgiving meal and we do have a lot to be thankful for despite all the tragedy in the past months.  However sometimes with all the rush of things, it's hard to find those things that even make you happy and grateful.

We went to see Disney's Tangled tonight and what a joy it was just to hear Reece laugh at the funny parts.  He does has the best laugh.  It's one of those full belly laughs, that I'm sure his future wife and kids will totally adore.  It's great to have that child laugh.  He is a highly stressed little guy, so those laughs mean the world to me.

I remember one year ago tonight sitting at the hospital with my father-in-law who just had a heart attack.  I don't know if it was the ham or the turkey but something did it.  Then I walk into the same hospital this week, same new South Tower at Ball, to find my Dad admitted.  Thankful each of the stories end good.

My wish for this Holiday Season is to BELIEVE and for things to go as normal as possible.  I welcome in 2011 with open arms.

Yesterday

Yesterday, I worked on three projects on the computer.  All three projects failed. 

The first one a photo book that was free from Trip Advisor.  Book was done, but wasn't free because I did the smaller size, not the free size 8 by 8.  Had to start the project all over.

I then record Ellie's solo so she can pratice.  Well, dumb me can't remember my YouTube password so I can't save it.

Lastly, I use this blogspot for an awesome blog.  Just as I add the picture, power goes out, takes my blog with it as well as my password that I could no longer remember.

This the song is my new theme song! Love the panio part in it?  Sums up my day!

There are many things that run in my mind.  Usually around 100 miles an hour.  As I was posting a few of my Halloween pictures, I got to thinking people might think it's creepy we took our kids to a cemetery.  Well, it's a historical cemetery and most grave markers are from the 1800's.  It's really a awesome place to learn history and wonder how people lived back then.  Do our kids thinks it's creepy?  Nope, they ask to go.  We have had such tragedy in our family the last 7 months, one thing I want to teach them that a cemetery is not scary or creepy.  It's a place were you can go and feel close to your loved ones.  I find myself at one cemetery very frequently, giving the peace sign as I drive by, and straining my neck just to make sure the marker is still there.  In bible study we are working from a book that teaches you to live life like you only have 30 days.  It talks about the dash between your birth and death date.  That is the only thing you are in control of!  Life is short, remember the ones no longer with us and be or become who they would you to be.
