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!
