We have wake up ...Love that quote from Garth Stein. We have wake up calls every day - some small & quiet, some sadly knocking us flat like the devastation in the south. Going through my divorce, I realized one day that I really had very little control over much of the process, & little control in life - I realized I needed to be like a leaf floating down a stream ... going with the flow, being open - corny, but true! And after mom's death, I try to live in each precious moment & not be distracted by the things that truly don't matter. Living that way makes one rich. My heart goes out to those who have lost so much, & I give thanks for today.Olivia StClairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02347734640804622763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805054219581359150.post-71195118147571478492011-04-29T08:03:17.495-05:002011-04-29T08:03:17.495-05:00It's so good to know that you and yours are al...It's so good to know that you and yours are all safe amidst all this devastation. I haven't been able to make my blog rounds this month, so it's good to come over and catch up with you today. That quote cuts me to the quick. I am trying so hard to live exactly that way, for like you, I have had my share of "dragging" days when I'm just muddling through. I'm so grateful for the life I have and the people I love. Thanks for reminding me, Char.

Here at my house we are celebrating the return of our cat that we thought had died (or been eaten by coyotes) - it does feel a bit like we snatched her from death.<br /><br />xo Mary JoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10198791077499236420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805054219581359150.post-72704348509725656722011-04-28T18:28:26.733-05:002011-04-28T18:28:26.733-05:00Happy you are well!Happy you are well!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18173203466820523905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805054219581359150.post-61146458592338112382011-04-28T11:06:25.049-05:002011-04-28T11:06:25.049-05:00When I turned on the computer this morning it was ...When I turned on the computer this morning it was the first time I read of the devastating news happening in Alabama...my first thought was of my friend who lives there and I am so happy to read that you and your family escaped any of the horrors of the weather.

You would think<br />that living life like it was "stolen fruit" would<br />be easier. Maybe it's that "stolen" part that's<br />got some of us stuck. I'm with you, I can so <br />dig my teeth into a juicy peach right now. <br />thanks for the post Char! :)kat evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16934650572299062604noreply@blogger.com
