Well, ...

It has been nearly a month since I have blogged. So much has taken place and little of it very exciting. 

Sad, I know.

I got pneumonia. That stunk.

My Mom got sick from me, not pneumonia but a respiratory infection and at 80 years of age, it was enough to make us all stand up and pay attention.

Mom, well in 4 days, me...not so much.

She is a feisty one for sure!

I feel as though for the first time in my life that I am dealing with a bit of depression. I am sure it is weather / Fibromyalgia related but non the less has taken me by surprise and I have to say, I. Don't. Like. It.

I know that I need to focus on two things very closely. Jesus and something I find relaxing and exhilarating all in one.

Easter is shortly here and you know BOTH of the above mentioned focus views are involved in Easter.

I find that as I submerge myself fully in this season I am excited at the love of a Savior who gave His life for me. I am humbled and loved. Life is good. Life is full when I surrender.

Also, loving my family around an Easter feast is such a joy for me. Many would find it daunting or exhausting but I find it exhilarating! 

Deciding on the tablescape    making the menu   decorating   cooking   baking.

Just typing this makes me sigh. The kind of sigh that you get when you sink into a hot bubble bath or take that first spoonful of your favorite ice cream. Yes, THAT kind of sigh.

Audible. Loving. Peaceful sigh.

There actually were a couple of high points in the past 4 weeks and I will get those photos picked through and up on the blog in the next couple of days.

But until then, I will leave you with this.
