Feel free to play along for some yummy fun! I got these questions from Jodi. JOIN IN!!!
Food 4 Thought Friday ~ This week's questions
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Breakfast
What one word would you put on your gravestone?
Man - this is tough. I can think of several. Maybe "honest" or "fun" would be good, but "Christlike" would be the best.
Lunch
What happened today that made you feel good?
The last few days have really been tough. I'm pretty sure that I am suffering with seasonal affective disorder (SAD), and I have a hard time with January and February - not to mention that I also have a couple of anniversaries during this time of the year that make it hard. Anyway, I decided that today I would just take a break from the world and stay in bed all day long to hibernate. It was a good thing, I think, because this evening I was able to get up and referee the girls' basketball game for the church and have a really good time.
Dinner
Is there something hanging over your head that you need to do right now?
Dishes, laundry, homework - pretty much everything that I hid from today.
Midnight Snack
What are you most looking forward to at this moment? Least looking forward to?
The thing I am most looking forward to at this moment is summer, bright sunny days, warm temperatures. I'm least looking forward to the upcoming storm.
Recipe for the Week
(instead of your recipe for life, what is it just for this week?)
This week I literally just want to survive without too much stress.
I probably shouldn't even have posted because it is too depressing, oh well. Sorry to all my readers. I'll try to be more upbeat next time.

I get a bit of S.A.D, too. Hope the skies clear for you soon.

Audrey,
I am sorry you are having a hard time! Having those anniversaries coincide with winter is tough. I am glad you took it easy and got away from it all yesterday. Don't put pressure on yourself...take it a day at a time... or an hour at a time. Hope you feel better soon !!! We need to go to lunch!

Why be sorry? It's your blog. Your place to put what you want. I'm sorry you are having a tough time right now. I lost my dad 12 years ago on the 5th. It's a day that I dread every year. I struggled this week. I am happy that you got to stay in bed all day. That's a nice therapy.

Memories:  These vintage pictures surfaced this month.  I just love looking at old pictures remembering how things were - especially when the pictures are of loved ones who are no longer with us.  I love seeing Grandpa and Grandma surrounded by family.  They loved being with family!  This made me smile.

We had a marvelous time!  So much so that Kim has decided that he wants to build our own axe-throwing lane in our backyard!  I believe t

Fun Day With Bubba

Image
Today Bubba and I had a great day! First we joined Ash and Tristan for a visit to the park. Bubba and Tristan ran and rolled and climbed and had all kinds of fun! Later, Kim and I had to run to Logan, so we decided that a quick trip to Willow Park was in order. Bubba was so excited to see all of the animals there. We saw turtles, geese, swans, cranes, peacocks, and deer. We watched an owl eating his dinner. We saw a couple of young antelope fighting - I think they were really just playing! We even saw a couple of wallabies! Of course, Bubba's favorite part was feeding the ducks! He got a little nervous if one got too close, but as long as they kept their distance, he had a blast throwing food to them. I'm sure that he just about wore himself out with all of the walking and running and playing. I know that I did!

Mom is Coming Home

Image
We just got word today that mom can come home from Rehab tomorrow morning – a week earlier than we had expected. Needless to say, mom is thrilled at the prospects of being home again, and dad is quite excited also. I have to admit, I have mixed feelings. Honestly, it has been very nice having mom in a place where I knew that they were taking very good care of her. The food there is fantastic, the workers are extremely pleasant and friendly, and her care was wonderful. She has gained an incredible amount of muscle strength through her two-a-day physical therapy sessions, and they are fanatical about making sure that her food and fluids are exactly what she needs. Consequently mom is actually in better overall health now than she has been in the last two years. It has been nice for me to have them watching over her continuously to make sure that she does what she is supposed to and also to make sure that she doesn’t cheat on her diet or fluid restrictions. It has been wonderful to take
