Spring

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It is about learning to dance in the rain.

I have so many wonderful friends that have showered me with gifts of love and support. I'm not sure how I would survive without them. My heart is broken, rather shattered and I am learning to let go of what I have treasured for so long. It isn't easy when you love so deeply.

My children are my most precious gifts. I am so thankful that I have three beautiful children who are good to me. Each of them have their own special gifts. As Asbby put it this morning, "I was special the moment I was born." He says that in a squeaky voice and with a bit of sarcasm and with the "special" theme. On a more serious note, I am so blessed to have them in my life everyday and to experience their lives.

Ross was home from school this past week, "Spring Break" and we had a terrific time with him. We went shopping for Courtney's gift at a Kitchen Supply Company and saw that they were holding cooking classes. On Wednesday evening, Ross and I went to this Cooking Class where we learned to make 8 super appetizers and we learned the wine paring with them. Drinking the wine along with the hors d'oeuvres was a great experience for the both of us. We had fun jumping into making the different recipes. I'm glad we stumbled across this store the other day! They are holding some interesting classes in the future with "Mother's Day Brunch, Kids Eat Too, Ladies Night Out just to mention a few!

Courtney celebrated her birthday early because she will be working on her birthday and she wanted her brother Ross to be here to celebrate it with us. I think she just likes to spread it out over weeks and weeks of celebrating....hahahah! It was a great time! Happy Birthday Darling!

I'm getting ready to cook the Easter Dinner tomorrow! I am serving Ham, Brussel Sprouts, Cajun string beans, potatoes and salad. Leslie, Hank, Mimi, Ross, Courtney and Collin, Ashby and myself will be eating the delicious food! Happy Easter to you all!

My high school friends are coming for a visit at the end of the month. I am really looking forward to their visit!

When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. When one door shuts, another opens...but no one tells you about the hell in the hallway! Change can be painful at times and I am in the hallway changing. Prayer is a powerful tool, I'll say a prayer for you, please keep me in your prayers!
