Celebrating Life

We have had the most beautiful weather for spring.  Everything looks great with the pink and lavender colors.  I have always loved spring as it is a renewal of life for the earth and it reminds me everyday of how blessed we are to be alive.   Easter was suppose to be rainy and mother nature proved the weatherman wrong as we had a warm and beautiful day.  We spent  a lot of time outside enjoying bicycling, walking, and working in our yard.  The flower beds are ready for flowers and we will be planting soon.  Flowers are those beautiful smiles from God.

Speaking of life, my dad turned 87 years young five days ago and we celebrated.  He is still getting around well and he is keeping us laughing with his quick wit. He said he is getting younger and he reversed his birth age to 78.  I do believe that your age is just a number and your outlook on life will determine the age others perceive you to be.  My dad appears a lot younger than he is and I am glad he is an optimistic person.   Happy Birthday Dad !!

Still missing Laney as I sat on the front porch and missed her company.  You never realize how much you miss a pet or person until they are gone.  My whole routine in life is different now.  The house is very quiet.

We have planned to do a lot this summer as my husband turns the big 60.  We definitely will celebrate that mile stone.  He had to jump a lot of hurdles to get to this year.  Everyday is a celebration for life, love and happiness.  He can proclaim to all that he is a twenty year cancer survivor.  Still hoping someday that we can erase the word cancer from our vocabulary.

Life is beautiful !!!
