Grateful for our Health & Family

I was blessed to spend the Easter weekend with my three brothers and their families. We don't get together as often as we'd like and always have a great time when we do! Having lost our parents and all of our grandparents, we cherish the time we have together and count ourselves as lucky to laugh as hard as we do on these occasions!
After two days of solid cooking (and now enjoying the leftovers - yummmm!!!!), Easter egg hunts, and long feasts, it is nice to just relax at night & fall asleep to the memories of the stories that were shared!
Today a very dear friend is in surgery for breast cancer, so I am reminded how important our health is and that we simply can not take it for granted!!!! Yesterday I found out that I tore my ACL ligament in my knee skiing with Joe (see his earlier blog) on the most gorgeous of days at Copper Mountain 3 weeks ago, and I will need surgery - but at least my is not life threatening (maybe lifestyle threatening!!! :)!!! I will be putting that off until after my trip to Macchu Picchu in May! May we all continue to grab the most out of life!!!! Have a great day!
