Another day in paradise


September 1.

Happy Anniversary to us!  6 years & counting :)

Unfortunately, I am so under the weather, I could not even imagine trying to go out. It's OK though. We spent all night last night with me bundled up on the coach with a Netflix marathon.
 Ya have to cherish things you may otherwise take for granted. Especially when those memories being made are with the ones you love most.

Of course, as I mentioned last year, this was my brother's birthday. I wonder if my anniversary will always be bittersweet now.
He was a great guy. He had his problems. If anyone knew what he lived, they'd wonder how he didn't have more. I miss him & remind myself he is in a better place.

Losing a loved one is never easy. And when it feels like that person was ripped away too soon--before they reached their full potential-it sucks that much worse.

We go about life never knowing or understanding God's plan but we must know & understand that God has a plan for us all. More importantly, we must trust Him fully, put our lives in His hands daily, and love unconditionally.

 You never know what tomorrow will bring.

My cold medicine is starting to set in. It contained alcohol and amazingly, I can't handle it. Though I used to handle alcohol like it was water, I haven't drank in 6 years!
Thank God for sending my husband to help support me in my struggle & allow us to fall head over heels in the process!
