i have not entered anything since my first try - actually i have been trying to figure out how to enter another blog as i could not remember my way around .... go figure i had to sign in ....i tell you i am not technological minded. Having said that i am now back on track.

Mom was diagnosed last week with colon cancer - this is her second "time" for this cancer. Twenty years ago she had colon cancer the first time and when she was informed it was stated it is located on the other side of her colon from where the 1st colon caner was located. Two years ago she had uterine cancer and all went well. They say the 3rd time is a charm - well not in this case. We will deal with all this and keep the Lord in our thoughts and mom in our prayers.

We have been going through a trying time with an issue. We continue to pray and work through it and we know God will lead us.

I was recently informed of Frank's sermon being made available via ipod cast from Angie's church - i am looking forward to listening to them.

Well i need to attend to a few things - bye for now!

thinking

i have been trying to figure out how to start writing in my blog - i could not find the right place.

I have thought of starting blogging since i was reading a few of them and really enjoying them. I remember these individuals as young children and now they are married with their own children. I find them so interesting and a good way to get to know these now adults.

Today i had a conversation on MSN with an old friend of mine - we went o high school together and hung out allot. Val last her dad to cancer not long ago and so this was her first Christmas without her dad - i share what i went through - i shared how you develop new ways of celebrating that persons' life. Dad deceased in June 3 yrs ago. The first Christmas i purchased Christmas ball decoration where you can place a picture in the "frame" and also have the option of recording a small message. Kyle (my grand nephew) records daily a small message - that was his way of dealing with dad not being with us. Val shared with me how they placed one of her dads old t shirts on a chair at the table - i laughed as i remember her dad as a joker and a kind man that loved to use his humor. I shared that we create new traditions when people we love are no longer on hearth with us.

We never know how a person impacts our lives until they are away physically from us or deceased.

I am a very fortunate person - i have had special people in my life and still do. I beleive God places individuals in our path for a reason. It is up to us to decode the why?

Well i need to pick up Matt at work and will sign off for now.

May you have a good day!
