I remember when I said something to my daughter about this being the good china and the good linen and we only use it for holidays and when company came, and my daughter looked at me and said why are we not special enough? Well she was right! Use the good linen, use the good sheets, use the good dishes and glass ware and silver ware because you are SPECIAL and take the time to fish instead of iron, or go on a picnic instead of eat the meal you thought you were going to have. Have ice cream for dinner, because you are only promised this time right now, not a second more and for some tomorrow does not come.

She's 12 & I've always kept them on a very regimented sleep schedule. She asked last week what it would hurt to let her stay up, and I couldn't think of a reason. It's summer, she has no obligations. Last night, we were up until almost 2am watching An Affair to Remember. It was wonderful to share one of my favorite movies with her. The moment was made even more special when she said someday she'd watch the movie with her own daughter & talk about me. We slept in until 11 today & the world didn't end! Definitely encouragement to start seizing more moments.

Lots of camping trips mainly, Yellowstone, Yosemite, all over Colorado. Little did I know that from my dx 3 years ago, my stage 1 breast cancer would become " as my oncologist says...the cancer from hell. " I went bone metatisis within a year, and now on my 3rd radiation and chemo in 3 years. Would not trade those memories with my husband and now 19 year old daughter Mattie for the world.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05329764298922582597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992080798609191097.post-72598010820251919082015-06-23T15:49:32.337-07:002015-06-23T15:49:32.337-07:00Totally true!

As Carolyn knows I have multiple pets and do animal rescue and never go on vacation or spend one night out of the house for 10 years. <br />Then I was given an opportunity of a lifetime to be able to spend a week in July 2013 among my favorite authors one being Ms Carolyn Brown and I made no more excuses! I spent two weeks dropping animals on all my friends. <br />I lost a lot of time, just simple relaxing feel good time with family and friends. <br />Taking even a few moments for myself. <br />Sadly I fell back into my old habits, this is a kick in the pants....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12593366960562461732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992080798609191097.post-84940339482334680492015-06-23T10:30:44.531-07:002015-06-23T10:30:44.531-07:00First of all, I never pass up any excuse not to c...First of all, I never pass up any excuse not to clean the house. Secondly, cheesecake is my favorite food in the world & I have it so rarely, so I could jump on that band wagon!

He use to be a trucker, so he can drive with little or no sleep. Well I had to have my house Spick and span before I left and lord who was going to feed my 7 horses 4 dogs and my cats. Nobody does it like me. I had to rely on my kids(21&27) and of course my BF Lisa. They would take care of the horses when not working and Lisa would do it the days they couldn't and let my dogs out to play and feed them. I have a hard time letting anyone take care of them. I also have a hard time leaving home. <br />Well our trip was good and everyone was still alive when I got back. Still can't believe we drove all the way there in 23 hours and 4 hours of sleep. I'm learning like you did to just go and enjoy yourself because you never know if that time will be missed and never get a chance again. Lisa dis real good putting up with my crazy mother-in- law too! She didn't have to whoop her arse one time!
