Nice Surprises

I think it's nice to be surprised and even nicer when it's a good surprise. I never really liked surprises all that much. In fact I would tell my husband not to throw me a surprise party because I didn't really want to deal with the surprise or I'd probably find out anyway. Well I've outgrown that some and now know that it's fun to get little surprises here and there. I also have realized that life is too short to not enjoy the surprises in life.

As I've come to terms lately with just how sick I am and how my body just doesn't seem to work quite right sometimes, I want these surprises in life. You might be thinking why? Isn't having your body fail in some ways enough of a "surprise"? Well I don't want this surprise, but I've learned to live with it as I recently told a friend! There are just some things you have to "live and let go" or something like that. Learn to laugh at yourself, be silly, dance in the rain, enjoy a friend, lay with your children at night, read a good book, take a nap, walk barefoot, say I LOVE YOU!

Sometimes we don't appreciate each other enough. Lord knows I don't. I'm learning though. No, I'm not dying or anything and it's not fatal, but I've learned that when life doesn't go the way you planned that you may not always be promised tomorrow. It doesn't matter if something is fatal or not. You can be as healthy as a horse. There are things I can't do with my children, can't do with my husband, my parents, my friends and I would do anything to have the last 5 years back so that I could do some things that I didn't do.

Ohhhhh enough that! I am however going to walk in the Relay For Life! Yes, I probably shouldn't, but I am. I'm looking forward to it and it has some very special meaning to me this year. I've had one friend to say she was going to come and walk with me. I think she just wants to make sure I'm ok, but you know.....I'll enjoy the company.

I never know who reads this but to those that do, I appreciate it! I hope you enjoy it or that it helps you in some way. If you get the chance leave a comment, I'd love to hear from you.
