To answer your question, I am LOVING every full moment that I am living, and I am grateful for them all. However, I'm a bit like your sweet Colton, a little nostalgic. Easter was so FULL of life, wonderful family. and activities of pure JOY, I just didn't want it to ever stop or have all of our beloveds go home! :)<br /><br />Love and prayers with all of your appointments, dear friend.

Love that kid. This week is filled with taking in joy and armloads of stress that sometimes feels way past that proverbial straw point. But embedded in that straw ARE the joys woven in and that's why we can still keep carrying the load.

Almost all of it is good and yet I can't help but feel that in being THIS busy I am missing something, too. I know that there are friends who feel that I am not attentive enough, for example, and that is the biggest loss for me - feeling that in the full I cannot be and do everything. I guess that is where surrender comes in, and I must realize that I can take each day and do what I can, and that is enough. And I can only do that, even, with God's grace. God bless you and Happy Easter Vicky!Roxane B. Salonenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01459456545891720716noreply@blogger.com
