Okay, so sometimes I think it’s easy to let life go by and not say the things we sometimes want to say. After a discussion earlier this week at soccer about saying please and thank you I felt compelled to thank people in my life.

About a month ago my nanny got sick, she is a very special lady and always a wonderful grandmother. I love spending time with my grandparents but it’s hard to see nanny whenever I want since she lives so far away. When she got sick I was shocked and prayed for a speedy recovery. Fortunately, for my family she is well on the mend.While she was in the hospital I sent her a letter with an update on what’s happening here but also to tell her how important she is to me.

The last 10 months have been a real challenge for me with illness, constant colds and flares of iritis symptoms. I really appreciate all the support I’ve received from my friends and understanding that sometimes my life gets busy (I love to stretch myself thin) but that doesn’t mean we aren’t friends or that I don’t care. It has really helped me see the people in my life who are there no matter what.

So thank you.

And thank you blog readers – your comments and emails have kept me writing and given me ideas and inspiration.

A special thanks to Heidi, my awesome web master and good friend, she and her husband moved away this year and I miss her and all her fun animals but I appreciate her keeping my website up and functional!

So that’s it! I promise, no more mushy stuff this week!

I pulled out my brownie holiday, vintage camera, and I loaded it up with some film. Read the rest of this entry »
