Options, Lots of Options

I might be a little nervous to have next year be put into perspective like this.

 Right now it's sort of like a "Where's Waldo?" game of "Where will we be living?".

Of course the first choice would be right here; save lots of money and not go through the mess of selling our sweet home.

Oh, the possibilities.

The waiting game has begun.....

God bless my impatient, organized, plan ahead little soul.   

Lazy Sunday

Have you ever looked at your animal and thought "life must be nice"?

Life as a human, on the other hand, isn't always easy. But I think sometimes we have to go through the storms to appreciate the true beauty and comfort of sunny days. Rain brings growth and I think we're all experiencing a little bit of growth through this season. My dad is doing really well; he's still taking chemotherapy, but working, playing tennis and carrying on nicely with the "new normal" life. My mom is about to have a big surgery but we're praying she has immediate relief and a quick/smooth recovery over the next couple of months.

Some days I find myself a little overwhelmed, but mostly I'm just thankful for every day. When you make it a point to look for the silver linings they're much easier to find.
