So spring is getting closer. I love seeing the flowers popping up and blooming. I am so wanting to work in my yard but I am on call this weekend and have patients to see. Maybe next weekend...
Yesterday was mom's 79th birthday and we are celebrating it tomorrow with a get together at her house. Sad things... She don't remember that we are coming and more than likely, tomorrow night she wont remember that anyone was there, and there will be a lot of anyone's there. We are trying to keep her at home for as long as possible but it is getting closer to where she will require 24 hours supervision. I don't know what we will do when it gets to that point.
It is an adjustment, changing roles from child of the parent to parent of the parent. I am sure most everyone who reads this has been there or are going there. It's tough not letting her make 100% of her decisions but that's where we are. About the only decisions she makes it such as when to get out of bed, what to wear and what to eat. But it is something. So sad.
Hope all is well and you and your family are happy and healthy...

Spring time
I am so glad that spring is practically here. I love spring more than any of the other three seasons. It is a time of new growth and it brings to mind all God has blessed us with. Each day, we should be thankful for the things He has given us, so generously. How many times do we take everything for granted?
This weekend we have spent a few days away from home and it has been great. We have talked, played and laughed more than we have in a while. Time gets in the way and we have just survived all winter. Now that spring is here we can once again start all over.
Take time today and every day to thank God for all he has given you. Even the small things. They all are given to you by the most powerful and gracious God.
Thank you Lord for every day you have given me, for my family, health and even the job that I am sometimes guilty of complaining about. Without You I would not be where I am today, or who I am today. Please keep me and my family in your arms and hold us close, protecting us with your shield.
Amen.
Hope you all a have a great day, whereever you are and whatever you do.
