this month commemorated the twelfth anniversary of my beloved’s passing…

it is always a reminder of how one’s life can change in the blink of an eye… mine certainly did at that time and again when I was diagnosed with cancer, and later diabetes…

the thing I have learned is that we can pivot and move forward, even if in a slightly different direction…

I have spent time remembering what a wonderful life we had together and how blessed I have been been and continue to be…

thinking of those who are at that pivot point in their journey…

been pondering how life can change in the blink of an eye…

there I was on Saturday, going for a walk, and then suddenly unable to walk…

luckily I am recovering very nicely, but spending five hours in the Emergency Room and having to use crutches for just three days has opened my eyes to difficulties that others face…

I expect a full recovery… I am now using a cane, but just for a short while, as my knee improves… and I’m able to take the time to recover properly…

of course I have to remember to take it slow and steady, lol…

things can change in the blink of an eye…

recently a number of women in my circles have been dealing with very difficult situations… loss of parents, illness of partners and children, employment concerns…

often there is little to do besides sending positive energy and love over the airwaves… spending time holding them in thought and prayer feels like a good use of time…

good to remember to smell the roses, or in this case, tulips…

big girl pants, blink, leaves, pond, precious, pump

this morning as I was taking out the garbage and recycling to the lane, the pond sounded funny… walked over and realized the strange sound was the pump sucking air… couldn’t really see it because it was still very dark, but I unplugged it to be sure it didn’t burn out…

tonight I took a picture of the pond…

IMG_8966-1.JPGhard to tell how low the water is with all the leaves in it, but it is low… also got a shot of these flowers which just keep blooming…

IMG_8967-0.JPGwas reminded again today that our lives can change in the blink of an eye…

hug those you care about… tell them you love them… take the time to do what you want to do…

every moment is precious… don’t waste a single one…
