Life...

Life sure speeds up as you get older. You blink it is the weekend, you turn around and a month has gone by...the next thing you know your baby girl is 22 months old and has a personality of her own.

The world is in upheaval. A huge Tsunami hit Japan and it is on the brink of a nuclear meltdown, the state of Wisconsin is in an uproar, friends are losing their husbands, friends are losing their dads.....and I keep waiting for the ball to drop. The one that hits my perfect little world. I pray that ball never drops and I am thankful every day I have a beautiful daughter, a beautiful family, my parents, my wonderful friends and all the opportunities that God has given me. I can't ask for anything more than I already have. "My cup runneth over...." I am very fortunate for my health, wealth and love that surrounds my life.

Speaking of which, I will be a SAHM next year as I was granted a year leave from my job. That means a year with my beautiful daughter to hang out, to smell the flowers, to learn how to skip and hop, go to the zoo, color pictures, make cookies and so, so much more. I am very fortunate for the opportunity and looking forward to every moment including the not so great moments. What a blessing. So now I am counting my days...and my blessings. What are you blessings? RU counting them tonight, because you should....every one of them, because it can change in an instant.
