Saint Theresa's Prayer

Saint Theresa's prayer:

May today there be peace within.  May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.  May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.  May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.  May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.  It is there for each and every one of us.

REALITY

What is reality?  It is how each of us perceive what is presented to us.  Reality is different for each individual.  Did you realize that we were capable of loving who we choose, being happy, or just being?  Have you ever wondered why your friend thought that their significant other was absolutly georgous, and you thought they were grotesk?  It is all what we choose to see. Maybe I live in a fantisy world to some people... but I love MY reality.

Heather

Heather,
     I can't believe that you are really moving to the State of Washington.  I am going to miss you!
Thank you for the friend you have been (and will be... this is not "Good Bye").  In the time I have known you, you were always there for me.  Except when Megan was born, how dare you go on vacation!  Thank you for the late night "cramming" sessions with Hawian pizza.  Thank you for the wine tour and BULL RIDING!!!!  Why?  In dresses?!  Were we crazy?  I know it wasn't because we were young and dumb (well maybe the dumb part)... it was just last year.  What other friend would forgive me for losing their parents on her wedding day (all because of my lead foot).  I told you that I was going to get you there on time, no matter what.  Those memories will stay with me forever.  I love you

People

People (in general) amaze me.  Why is it that for most people, they wait until death is knocking on their door to see all of the beautiful things in life?  It seems as if people are so focused on the materialistic aspects of life that they forget what really matters.  A simple touch, a smile, a kiss, a connection with another human.  How do people forget that they need those things until everything else is taken away?   What is life without people to share it with?  I think this is why I started this site.  I want to be able to share who I am with the people I care about.

Too Funny

So, last night Dylan and I were walking down the stairs.  Well, he had some pretty bad gas.  Every step he took, he would let it rip.  I turned around, looked at him and he says, "Mommy, it's a motorcycle".  And this is with a serious face.  Oh my, where does he get this from?
Dylan is gonna' hate me for this one when he gets older.

death

I am so grateful for the work I do.  In a way, I never stop learning and growing as an individual.  Today, there were 3 deaths at the hospital.  Yes, on Thanksgiving, and I cried 3 times.  One that stood out from the rest was a young women with cancer.  Her fiance had left to go home and take a shower.  Within 6 minutes of him leaving, she passed.  When he returned, and family told him of the news he wept uncontrollably (rightfully so) and collapsed to the ground.  All I could think was how much they must have loved eachother.  Her, waiting for him to leave so he wouldn't have to see her pass (I feel that people do this subconsiouly) and him unwilling to leave her side, until he was forced by family.  This was an expected death, but that does not make it easy.  Today has taught me to live and love as if each day was your last.  Another man with cancer and a prognosis of <2 weeks asked me today to run away and alope with him (74 year old).  He spoke of his life and how content he was with every aspect.  He stated "A terible ending to a great story".  I told him that it wasn't the end that counted, but the content within your life.  I guess in a way we are all imortial.  What we share with the people we love (stories and experiences) live on throughout generations.  It is as if we become a part of the people we love and it snowballs down the hill.  The trick is how are we going to be remembered?

Life

In life, I have never imagined that I would be where I am.  There are no regrets.  If I knew then, what I know now... I wouldn't change a thing.
 
About me... my heart is with my family.  I have never felt so much joy, then when I am with my husband and children.  Family first (ALWAYS), then career.
 
About my Husband (Scott)... WOW sums it up.  Scott is a hard working, motivated man.  He is my energizer bunny.  All of his actions come from his heart.  He is the type of person that would give a stranger the shirt off of his back. 
 
About Dylan... A "mini-me" of Scott.   He also has a sensitive side to him.  Every day he amazes me with the ideas he has and the comments he makes.   I wish he would stay my little boy forever, but at the same time, I can't wait to meet the man he grows up to be.
 
About Megan... My angel, no matter what time of day, I can always count on a smile.  I have never met a baby so happy and easy going.  I fall in love with her more every day.
