How many days has it been, really????

Once again, I have slacked with my blog. Life just has this way of getting out of hand.

Speaking of Life, these last few weeks have been a real eye opener for me. Three different, special people who mean the world to me are now fighting that horrible word---CANCER. That is a word that terrifies me. I have literally had nightmares over it. Through all of this though, I am watching three people who are fighting it with dignity, with acceptance, and with a will to live. Not one of them has given up, nor do they have any reason to. I am happy to report that it seems they will be able to win this battle they have been handed and not for once did I doubt than any of them would. I love each and every one of you!

I have never been one to really live by what I see on T.V. or hear from someone else. I always had this notion that I needed to live my life how I felt I needed to and that I needed to set my own path and follow it. I guess it was my stubborness and will to be in control. These past few months something really strange has happened. And, I have no idea how or where it came from...I really would love to give credit where credit is due....if I could just figure it out!

Anyway, I have always been one to stew about things, to get myself worked up over little things, to really hold a grudge without that person knowing it, to wonder why instead of just accepting it, to worrying about things that truly were so far out of my control, to physically getting sick from the worrying, etc. You get the picture.

I decided one day....a couple of months ago that I needed to not sweat the small things and just let things be. And, I really have been working on it. It has been amazing! I had no idea I had it in me to "JUST LET GO." I wish I could figure out where this came from. I really want to know. I want to know if it was someone who I need to thank or something where I need to never take for granted again. For now I am just going to accept, enjoy it, and embrace it!

Life....what a beautiful thing....and it sure beats the alternative!
