With the sad news pouring in about Natasha Richardson's tragic death falling on the ski slopes, I'm grateful that the only falls we're seeing around here are my kids creating make-shift water slides from their recently acquisitioned swing set where one holds a hose and the other plunges into last year's Slip N Slide.

Speaking of Slip N Slides, don't we all slip sometimes? If only we can remember to look at it like a slide into a new beginning, life would be so much more bearable. After all, we could end up like Natasha Richardson, dead from unforseen complications. Let's try and enjoy every minute.

What are you looking forward to falling into this Spring?

As for me, I'm looking forward to friends, family, some new writing projects, and being grateful for what it is I have, not what I don't.

sigh...i was so sad yesterday. just really brought me into a funk (about NR). My history of working with brain injury totally worked against my peace yesterday, as I predicted the turn of events and was sadly, right.

So...yeah, a little gratitude and anticipation are in order. I'm looking forward to organizing my quilt land, bit by bit. I'm looking forward to knitting dish cloths for my grandma. I'm looking forward to seeing my dtr try track, my son improve on his bass gtr, and my hubby and I date. Maybe I'll even try to get a weekend away with him on the books. Never too early to keep living.

I hate it when stuff drags me like that. I have a tendency to take the world into my heart.

I'm looking forward to finishing my book, doing lots of gardening, and running through sprinklers with my kids. :)

a slide into a new beginning, I like that.

what am I looking forward to about spring? warmth, sunshine, the greening of my neighborhood walks, waking up for tennis without the "pants or skirt" debate, the last dance of my life as an elementary school mom. wow. that's BIG.
