On a more serious note, we are preparing for palate surgery September 1. We pray for Jasmine's good health so there will be no more delays. I've also been following a blog where there was a terrible tragedy involving a child and a driveway. Fill in the blanks. I don't know the details, but what I do know is that every day I am reminded about how exquisitely precious and fragile life can be. I wish we wouldn't suffer the small stuff, the inconsequential minutiae that bogs us down emotionally. Relationships are what count and while they bring great challenges, without them life would be empty and meaningless. We've had losses on this end recently too, not a child, but a talented athlete in the prime of his 45 year old life, wiped away by leukemia. Why is it so hard to make every day count? I pray for my own ability to be mindful and grateful each and every day.

LL's blog? I've been following too - so hard. One of the greatest inventions in modern times are the backup sensors and / or backup cameras, I'll never buy another vehicle without them! And when you go getting all insightful into life like this - dang - but you are oh so right. I've had the sorrow of going on duty with a guy only to never be able to see him again....something I'll never forget! Just keep on right thinking - and making it count!
hugs - aus and co.
You are so right!! My cousins lost their son when he was 17 years old and just graduated from college. That was 11 years ago but is still so hard. His long time girlfriend (who has since gotten married) just had her first child. It was very hard on them. Life can be so incredibly fragile. I really try to live each moment but sometimes I forget and get too wrapped up in the small stuff.
Jasmine looks so cute napping on the stairs! She makes it look almost comfy:)
