Life is what happens while you're busy making plans...

I have spent the better part of this year in mourning. Mourning over the loss of a job/income in January, mourning over the thought of losing my father, mourning over weight, and mourning over the actual loss of my father. It's time for life.

I went to my annual family reunion yesterday on a beautiful day here in the Pacific NW on a beautiful rocky river shore. I had with me my dad's side of the family and one good friend. The friend was there just for me...or so I thought... The friend soon bonded with my family and "played" pirates of the mighty Salmon River for most of the day...:) It was the best day I have had in a long time. I did not even have time to stop & realize who was missing. Yet when I stop now to think, I realize it was he who brought us all together. Heaven smiled.

Life goes on...Thank the Good Lord...
