do you ever feel that you are cruzing through life… things are buzzing along and everything seems fine… and then BAM… you fall right off of the cliff! Life has dealt me some doozies over the past few years. Financial problems, business failure, lack of family support, a child born with a broken heart, my father’s diagnosis, my mother’s issues… and the list goes on! I sure wish I had- had a sign warning me of these obstacles! But then what would I have done? Would I have been able to avoid them? Absolutely NOT. So I, like everyone else, continue to put one foot in front of the other, and carry on.
Today things seem much better. I am so grateful for the summer vacation, and to have such quality time to spend with my family. I’m already dreading going back to work in the fall, but also feel so extremely blessed to have a freekin’ job. I am thankful that my husband and I have made it through SIX years of married life, which haven’t always been easy. I am ecstatic about how well Rylie is doing, she amazes me every day, I can’t imagine loving anything more. And to have the freedom to explore my art, and invest in my passion… what else could I ask for??
Maybe just a bit of warning the next time I’m about to plunge off of another cliff!

Word of caution: as soon as you begin to take the simple pleasures for granted… be prepared to fall right off of the cliff! Hopefully you’ll manage to learn something and prevent that fall again!! (smirk)
