March 25, 2011- Whew!

Whew!

It’s been a while.

My tulip blooms fell to the ground in a carpet of petals.  I took a picture.  Meant to write.  Lost track.  So if sometime in the future, you see a blog with tulip petals covering the ground, you’ll know it’s out of place… but still beautiful to remember after the fact.

It’s been awhile.

St. Patrick’s day came and went.  There were pictures of smiling faces surrounded with green.  Beads.  Smiles.   Shamrocks.   I had on my to do list to take note.  Capture a daffodil and a tulip next to the kids in green.  Sit and write.   It didn’t happen.

It’s been awhile.

My parents visited.   They came along and met many of my friends.  I was so proud.  I didn’t feel well.  I so appreciated having my mom here when I was under the weather.  I should have hauled myself, sick and all off of the bed to jot this down, to deliberately notice my sincere gratitude for her presence.   I didn’t.

It’s been awhile.

There’s been plenty to write about and plenty to take  notice of and plenty that I did not do.

The kids have both had serious health scares.   They were just scares.  They are perfect and healthy and it’s time to write.

It’s been awhile.  I’m so grateful.  Most of all today, for our health.   When this is questioned, everything else falls by the wayside.    It’s the most important.   Something easy to take for granted on good days.  Something that can completely disable you when it starts to unravel.

Health.

We’re back on the mend.     And I am more grateful than ever.
