I read the most awesome book recently called, The Noticer. Author Andy Andrews says that, "The Noticer is rooted in the belief that our time on earth is a gift to be used wisely and one of the best ways to use that gift is by noticing those who have made an impact in our lives". That's what I hope to do this year. I want to notice EVERYTHING for 365 days - All of the God moments in my life - All of the friends and family that surround me - and as always, every bit of the funny that goes on in this world. Hope you enjoy and YOU become a noticer too.

Catching up AGAIN...

Day #339-#345:
I'm very behind. It's been that kind of week. Most of you know Gran landed back in the hospital, so that's my excuse. We've been on a bit of a rollercoaster ride. I once had a guy tell me that I had a terrible outlook on life because I said that EVERYTIME something good happened in my life, something terrible would immediately follow; therefore, there was no use in getting all excited about anything because it either wouldn't measure up to the greatness you thought it was supposed to, OR something bad would soon knock you back down. Well friends, it's still true, only now I'm viewing it with a twist. December started out wonderful with my trip from my good buddy and 3 days of his undivided attention. And then I got the call Gran was going back to the hospital. Stress, drama, more stress, nervous breakdown... and then on this side of it, the thought that she is HOME and she's doing OKAY. So maybe TERRIBLE doesn't follow good. The blessing of having her make it through surgery and back home was good following great. That's been my life for the past week. Tonight we went shopping and saw my very first love. Coach Finley just happened to pop into Sears where we were picking up Christmas gifts. He's the best! :0)

  1. My very unsolicited advice is to enjoy the good stuff as much as you can-- for as long as you can! Love ya.
