I am sitting here now at home resting after a 20 mile bike ride with my friends. The weather has been beautiful for outdoor exercise. It was in the mid 60's when we started out this morning and when we finished it was in the upper 70's. The bike trails are beautiful this year from all the rain. The wooded areas and wild flowers are thick and green.
I'm enjoying my me time with the girls. We stopped off in the historic Tipp City for lunch at a little cafe that had the best coconut cake. I did however eat a great vegetarian sandwich before indulging in the cake which was so good that I almost licked the plate. It is so relaxing to be back socializing with my friends. Thank goodness we had to ride back 10 miles to burn off that delicious cake.
I just realized that it has been three months since our last visit to MD Anderson Cancer Center. The reality of not having to make the trip across the country to Texas is sinking in. It is such a relief and a true blessing for my husband. We both are spending time doing our own thing. Yeah, we get three more months before he goes back for a checkup. We miss our Texas friends and family, but not the long trip. I think this calls for a celebration. A celebration for life, love and happiness.
Many blessings to those who have touched our life and helped us get to a renewed life at the end of the rainbow. Dreams do come true with love and determination. Life is beautiful !!

A Rainbow To A Dream
My favorite movie is THE SOUND OF MUSIC by Rodgers and Hammerstein. I still remember my mother taking me to see that movie on the big screen. Little did she know that it was going to remind me to always chase my dreams. I remember thinking that I could watch Julie Andrews in the opening scene run up to the top of the mountain over and over. It is a beautiful scene and she seemed like she was on top of the world and could conquer anything. It is a beautiful love story that I have watched many times and have never grown tired of seeing it.
My favorite lyric from one of the movie songs is about following a rainbow until you find your dreams. I try to remember everyday to keep my own dreams alive and keep moving forward. Our dreams don't necessarily turn out exactly as we see them in our mind, but when we can hold onto them they give us hope to keep living.
I have many dreams that are still to be found at the end of the rainbow and I am chasing them with my husband. We together are blessed to have followed a rainbow that has brought us to a peaceful place in life and continue to find new rainbows. No life is without challenges, but everyone can follow a rainbow to their dreams. It maybe a little scary and we may not understand the obstacles in the way, but never giving up will be the greatest reward of all.
Laney followed her rainbow to find us and I hope all her dreams have come true. She seems to be at peace and has brought much love and peace to our world. I guess we both followed the same rainbow to find each other. I hope she is around to follow many more rainbows with us.
As the rain stops and the sun shines, look to the sky and follow the rainbow to your dreams. Life is beautiful !!
