Spoiled by AC...

not only is it Monday morning, yuck, but it was a morning with no A/C. Yep, it went out last night. I knew it was getting warm in the house because I wasn't able to sleep very well. I am such a light sleeper anyway and I know I never get enough sleep so I was up most of the night. Luckily though I have some friends in the business and it will be fixed soon rather than later. But it is funny how spoiled we can be by the AC. I remember as a kid growing up and not having it at all, and there were days that were unbelieveably miserable but it wasn't that bad I suppose. But it is funny now the minute it goes out, I am all over it, calling my friends up saying get over here, Now :)

Any who... how as everyone's weekend? Ours was great, busy as ever. It is funny how the beginning of the week I look at the calendar and there is not much going on, but by Friday we are slammed once again with all kinds of activities. I watched a lot on the shooting in Colorado.. I just can't imagine what those families are going through. Heck, Brayden slept over on his first sleep over on Friday, and I was lost without him. He has been invited many times before to do so, but always chickened out at the last minute, but this time he stuck with it and enjoyed every minute of it - he had so much fun. But back to Colorado... it made me think all weekend about calling up old friends just to say hey, I actually texted a couple. I think it is important to let the people in your life know that you care about them one way or another because you aren't promised tomorrow.

I saw a lot of posts this weekend on FB about that and about living your life. About needing to let go of hurt and anger, about opening up to forgiveness and not living your life with regret. Have to live each day as it is your last... each day, each hour, each minute is a gift from God. Do we waste it on what we can't change? Do we fret about running into the past or do we embrace it?

Embrace it, embrace life, embrace those who have hurt you, embrace those who love you, embrace family and friends, embrace what you have and not want you don't have, count your blessings, remember your life with a smile, not a frown....

Embrace Life!

Happy Monday....

Miss and love you dad ~ so much.

Much love and happiness to all,
