...life is what you make it.
It's been a very long week here in the 'burbs.
My surgery was a success, and the word grateful is being thrown around. A lot.

I'm glad it's behind me.
I've been blessed lately.
The weddings have been awesome, and adding new family members to our clan has been a great gift.
We needed some new talent!

Life is far from perfect. Things happen.
Having people to hold your hand, and make you laugh is a damn good gift.
The flowers were a nice touch too.
I'm glad you are healing well after your surgery. The get well flowers are beautiful. And the cookies look tasty too. You really are blessed with a lot of people who care about you.
ReplyDeleteSo glad it's all behind you now and you don't have to worry about what "could have happened"!
ReplyDeleteThat photo of Cooper is precious! And love those cookies!!
Yes we must be thankful if we weigh the bad against the good and the scales tip in favour of the good.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post, full of so much truth and encouragement. Love the photos (especially that half-gone cookie!) and also the banners in your next post! Glad you're back!
