Grateful For Dreams

The air conditioning is back on as our unpredictable weather has brought us temperatures ten degrees above normal.  The rain has subsided and today was a picture perfect day with sunshine, blue skys and everything blooming.  The last couple evenings after the rain had departed the air smelled fresh and the scent of blooming flowers filled the air.  It was perfect evenings for walking with the birds chirping and the cool moist air on our skin.  Everything is beautiful, like a painted picture that I wish we could view all the time.

Laney was so happy to see sunshine today that she lay on the back porch and sun bathed.  She looked relaxed and I was going to try and snap a picture of her, but I knew if  I opened the door she would jump up.  I left her to enjoy the sunshine.

My husband and I are trying to keep busy and distract our minds as we prepare for another journey across the country for medical care.  This will be the last maintenance treatment for his lymphoma.  It has been a busy two years for us traveling every three months for treatment.  The time has gone by quickly, and we say our blessings everyday for the Md Anderson Cancer Center.  We are grateful for all the time we have together and his continued remission.  Our Texas friends await our arrival and we are looking forward to many more fun days with them.

Life will take you where you want to go when you dream big.  I dreamed of loving you my dear husband and together we went to Texas.  I love you always and forever.   Life is beautiful !!

Rain

When it rains it pours.  That's an old saying I heard growing up.  It was meant to be that a lot of things were going on in your life.   Sometimes there are things that happen that you have no control over and you wish they would stop.  Another saying is unpleasant things happen in threes.  I guess these sayings only have meaning if we let them.   I have had a week of rain pouring, but I decided it wasn't worth flooding my mind with it.  Today the sun is shinning on my life and I am happy to report it is Friday. Yes, it is TGIF!!

I fell asleep the other day with my laptop resting on my lap and when I woke up, my computer decided not to wake up.  The little guy Jim with the wrench on my computer screen decided he was done and threw in the wrench.  So it was bye, bye to Jim and bye, bye to my laptop.   I believe the hard drive expired.  It was so sad to think I would not be graced with a love note stuck to the computer screen.  But, my wonderful husband surprised me this morning.  I saw his iPad sitting on the table and as I opened it up, there was a love note stuck to the screen.  He knows me so well.  So, the rain has dried up and I am wondering how long he is going to be sharing his iPad.

Laney is so oblivious to everything that happens.  She has no worries and sleeps all day.  Her only concern is when she is getting her evening treat.  I have captured a picture of her napping as she does all day.  She is even resting her head on a pillow.  What a life of no worry.  Maybe we could learn something from her.  She brings laughter to my life everyday.  She is always a ray of sunshine when the rain pours.

 Life is beautiful!!
