The Calm After the Storm

Well, it's been quite a week. Our sweet dad went in for a triple by-pass which scared us all but he did really great and is recovering well...a real trooper. My entire family came in to be with him, and my sister Meg stayed at our place with her sweet 3 year old, Annie. Now they've gone back home and I have to say, the house is way too quiet! I miss that sweet little voice saying "good morning, Keekoo, I love you." What a gift she is.

So this post is about gifts...we receive them every single day and sometimes don't even realize it. I miss them when I'm out looking for them...because they are right in front of my face and I just need to stop and see. My children, my family, my legs that get me where I need to go! My good friends who will always be there for me, my music, my voice, my love of good books, good movies, good food and the health to enjoy them and the (sometimes) money to buy them! And most of all...my God...the greatest gift of all and the One I often turn a blind eye to, so wrapped up in the craziness of it all, the want, the need. We have everything we'll ever need right inside of us. All we need to do is tap into it and give thanks for it...every single day.
