Funny Life

Isn't life funny? The day to day goes by sometimes without a thought but yet those are the days that make up our lives? It's weird to look back on the past and reflect. As I read old blog posts of mine tonight I feel like I was so much smart 10 years ago. What happened? Kids? Stress? The craziness of life? I don't know but I feel a bit lost and overwhelmed. 

A friend of mine lost her dad to cancer this week. I've been offering support and comfort and sharing a bit of my experience to help her through this difficult time.  It has caused me some pain reliving things through her eyes but yet I am happy to help her and glad to have the experience to share. I never thought I would be able to say I was glad about that experience in my life but if it can help a friend, then it's good. Plus I believe our dads are together now in Heaven, so that's pretty cool.

I have been viewing a lot of past pictures as well.  My family had a lot of fun back in the day and we still do. I only wish dad were here to share in it. Especially with our kiddos. Adam and Avery are amazing and I think they would love their Granpa Larry.  I do feel he had a hand in bringing them to us and that gives me comfort and peace. 

Well, I am going to continue on in this funny life and read a book (probably one of my favorite things to do right now) and maybe try to blog a bit more. I know you laugh, I say it every time, but one of these times I'll stick with it.  I am working hard on doing more memory keeping. Not just scrapbooking but journaling, writing on a calendar, etc.  Why? Well, I like the instant self-reflection and I think it's fun to look back on someday! 

Cheers!

Spring Break 2018

Here we are....at Spring Break time and it's snowing like crazy in Hudson. Of course, this happens EVERY Spring Break.  I remember my first Spring Break with Adam, he was about 8 months old and it was 70 degrees every day. We sat outside and had a blast in the sun. Now we are listening to the horrible wind and watching the snow fall like crazy!  Lots of Battleship has been played and it's only day 1!

Thumbs up to Auntie and Daddy who had a snow day today....!

Well, what the heck? Here it is 2018 and I am trying again to get things going! What is my deal....oh yeah, life!

Anyway, I find it appropriate that I am writing today....9 years after my dad passed away. I was posting some pictures of him on FB tonight and randomly opened my blog. Even though it's bookmarked at the top of my web browser I never open it. WHY? Maybe it's because of all the other social media sites (I have addressed this topic before). I guess I don't feel the need to blog.  This is kind of like a journal but on the web....wait, didn't I read a book about a lady who told a secret on the web in her blog? Yes, I think it was Young Jane Young?

Super random thoughts tonight. Could be the 3 glasses of wine talking? 

Will I keep up with the Blog this time? Hard to say...

Regardless, it's fun to read back on previous posts and reflect. Gosh, I have a good life. I know that and I am thankful but lately, things have been rough. Long sleepless nights, work is tough, winter sucks. So reading things here make me feel better! 

Cheers and hope to see you again soon!
