Reminders

Today is Ian's first day back at a new preschool day, and mommy is breathing a sigh of relief after almost six weeks of the little ruffian having the rule of the roost. I reflect back to my post about Stay at Home Moms and hope maybe some smoother days are ahead now that we found a school. Hopefully. This weekend was chaotic. I was tearing my hair out yesterday. And then as I put Ian to bed, I stroked his hair and cheek, he whispered I love you, and I was reminded of what a sweet angel I am really blessed to have.

I've been following Karen's blog as many of you have since her cancer diagnosis, and at this point, I felt it apropos to comment. Because, although many of us don't know her personally or behind the scenes, I admire the fact that she can even can blog or keep up all that she is DOING in the face of adversity. Sure, I bet she has wicked days where she is angry, sad, upset and facing all types of varying feelings. However, the fact that she faces these head on is of great inspiration to me.

So, this one is for you Karen. Thank you. When my life gets difficult, you show me how to face it with great dignity instead of burying my face in the sand.
