Ramblings

Cecily is still in the hospital. We are optimistic that they are getting closer to helping her feel better.  Noah misses his little sister and having his family at home with him. Thank goodness for Grammy and Grampy for helping to care for him while we take shifts at the hospital with Cecily. She is resting peacefully right now.  For this, we are grateful.

I didn't write this but my Dad received it in a forward (no author provided) from one of our dear family friends. For me, this is is advice I need to follow. After the birth of Cecily there has been a lot of dust in our house. This makes me feel a lot better about it...

Remember...a  layer of dust protects the Wood beneath it. 'A  house  becomes a home  when you can write 'I love you' on the furniture.'  
 
I used to spend at least 8 hours every weekend making sure things were just perfect 'in case someone came over' Finally I realized one day, that no-one came over; they were all  out living life and having fun!

Now,  when people visit, I  don't have to explain  the 'condition'  of my home 
They  are more interested in hearing about the things I've been doing  while I was away living life and having fun. 

If you haven't  figured this out yet, please heed this advice.

Life  is short. Enjoy it!  Dust if you must but  wouldn't it be better to paint a picture or write a letter,  bake  cookies or a cake  and lick the spoon or plant a seed. It is time to ponder the difference between want and need !!!

Dust  if you must,  but  there's not all all that much time...with wine to drink, rivers to swim and mountains to climb,  music  to hear and books to read, friends to cherish and life to lead. 

Dust if you must, but  the world's out there with the sun in your eyes, the  wind in your hair...a  flutter of snow, a shower of rain. This  day will not come around, again... 
 
Dust if you must, but bear in mind, old  age will come and it won't be kind. And when you go - and go you must - you, yourself will make more dust! Share  this with all the wonderful women in your life. It's  not what you gather,  but  what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived.  

Onwards & upwards!

Sending all our love to you all!!! We are praying that the doctors can diagnose why Cecily is in so much pain and not tolerating her feeding tubes. Big hugs and kisses to you all!!!
