Farwell 2012

As I look over the past year I am overwhelmed.  We had a good year but there are so many around us suffering.   I have a sibling whose life really spun out of control at a rate I would have never known possible.  We had friends who lost their parents and my dad battled cancer.  But over all we had a pretty amazing year.  There was Andrew and a motorcycle trip for Lee.  I have two kids who are physically able to play sports.  They are doing well in school.  Lee found a job.  We always had enough food on the table and a roof over our children's head.  We went to Lagoon. 

But we were blessed so much this year not with things but with people.  We have the most amazing friends.  I know everybody says it but I really mean it.  Our friends rock.  They are our rock when things are going horrible wrong.  They laugh and cry with us.  Lee is able to call extended family his friends to which I am so blessed.

At the end of this year I look back and think...WOW WHAT A RIDE!!!!

Andrew turned eight yesterday and I am so thankful for him. He is become such a deep thinker and asks these amazing questions that I don't always have the answers to. The meds have helped slow him down but he is still crazy Andrew. We upped the medications and it was like he was on speed. He couldn't sleep and was kind of zombie like. Then there has been a few moments wher

The one you feed...

A few weeks ago Lee text me this story.  One evening, an elderly cherokee brave told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. he said "my son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. one is evil. it is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. the other is good. it is joy, peace love, hope serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." the grandson though about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "which wolf wins?..." the old cherokee simply replied, "the one that you feed"  One I have heard 100 times but one that I needed at that moment although I didn't know it.  There have been several situations that have happened these past few weeks and I keep thinking of that story and I have to remind myself which wolf I am feeding. There
