Today is my mom's birthday

I feel blessed that she is still with us.  She has been "sick" for about 3 years now and it has made me realize that living for the here and now is a very important thing.

Here's a picture from our vacation.  It was just beautiful.  This was a lake at the end of our hike.

I try to focus on the positive (and not think about the negative) -- like the fact that when we returned home our car that was parked at the airport was hit!  Expenses just seem to mount....  What can you do?  Dwelling on it just makes your life shorter!

Smile and enjoy the day!
