Today

Today is Tuesday.. Today is cold... Today is love... Today is one day closer to the weekend... Today is God... Today is me... Today is comfort... Today is smile... Today is baby... Today is thankful....
Today, I am thankful for so many things... For life, for love, for God's love, for my health, for my kids, for my job, for comforting food.... Today is almost over and it was a good day... a good today to remember tomorrow!!!

Our unseen angels

Today, I am thinking of my two brothers as you know who have left for Iraq as of 6 days ago...I am thinking of what they might be thinking and what they might be doing right now... are they still traveling? Are they thinking of us and wishing they had never signed up to do this, or are they thinking of the job they have to do and how to do it sufficiently.... I am sure it is all of the above..
I wonder sometimes what makes a man or woman who has a family or even thinking of starting a family, sign up for such a terrible thing, but then I think of my freedom and I am thankful that they do. It is something that they should be proud of doing, for they and all the men and women that serve are all heros. Daily they serve and daily they are in danger just so I can sit in my warm house playing with my children, and complaining of all I have to do for the day. It really makes you sit back and reflect on your life and all that you have been blessed with and certianly makes me more aware of why and how I have the freedom that I do. God Bless All Our Soldiers, Men, Women, Fathers, Husbands, Wives, Mothers, Daughters, Sons, Brothers, Sisters...... They are all our angels dressed in camo, with wings unseen!!

Today, I am again faced with the reality that we really don't know how lucky we are to be here, to be healthy, accepted, warm, cared for, thought of, and undeniably loved and adored by someone or more than just one someone... Life is so short and we aren't promised a tomorrow, so why do we go to bed expecting to wake up tomorrow with our to do lists and things that just have to get done?
On your to do list, is there the words love, laugh, play? I need to really make new lists, that include play with my daughter, laugh with my sons, tell the ones you can 't live without just how much you love them!
With my job, you wouldn't think that this was just an epiphany that I have every now and then, and truly its not, but life gets in the way sometimes.... and sometimes it takes a certian someone or a certain something to shake you and wake you and make you say God I am sorry for not paying enough attention to you and to my children that you blessed me with. I am sorry for not taking the best care of me that I can... For I am yours and you gave me life and I shouldn't take that for granted... You bless me everyday with the gift of life and the gift of being forgiven for my stupitity and my carelessness and for not being up to par like I should..
Just a few things that are on my mind... I love my life, I love my family, more than ever!! They are truly my love, my passion, my every desire to see them happy... My heart longs for them to be loved like I am loved by my wonderful husband. I hope that they find a love that they treasure and never let go of! ! !
