Take Time to Enjoy Life

Years ago a song was popular entitled "You've Got To Stop and Smell the Roses". To endure the long road of saying goodbye to our loved one, we must take time to find some joy in life. For me I have found that frequent visits with my lively granddaughters always brings balance into my life. My heartaches are soothed by their hugs, laughter and antics. Over the last several months I have explored the zoo twice, danced, painted stepping stones, had tea parties, sewed for a doll, gone fishing, panned for gold and been smothered in hugs and kisses by these wonderful little girls. Find what encourages you and keeps you healthy. When in the car I have a favorite CD by Kari Jobe that ministered to my soul. A precious friend allows me to use her pool to do water aerobics. I am a better support to my parents when I take care of myself. Find the roses along your path and take time to stop and smell them.
