A Quiet, Simple, Ordinary Day

This morning I did a short post on a quiet, simple ordinary day.

It really makes you stop and think.

The other day I made sausage balls for my family.

I haven't seen them but I froze them for them. 

We are actually at the "Little House" right now.

I am doing nothing but relaxing.

It is so nice.

I remember when boring was really boring.

I love boring now.

I really love it.

It is too bad that we don't know when we are young what we know now.

It kind of seems backwards.

I loved weekends because it meant 

parties with friends or going somewhere 

back when I was young.

Wow. What a waste.

But maybe that is what makes me appreciate these days now.

And the friends that are true friends, I wouldn't take anything for.

I know who will be there and who won't.

I hated rainy days when I was younger.

Oh my! What was I thinking?

A rainy day or a snow day is precious to me now.

I often tell my children when things go wrong that

they have to go through things to get where they are going.

I truly believe we are all looking for......

A quiet, simple, ordinary day.

We just don't know it.

I put a quote on my facebook page this morning that I hope I will never forget.

And I don't think I will because I lived it when I was diagnosed with cancer.

"Everyday is ordinary...........until it isn't."

Many of you know this blog, Our farm, "The Little House on the Lake"

 my "Sweet Hunter"

along with our family is my heart!

Facebook is quick and easy and has its place but this is where my heart is.

I have blogged since 2007.

I had to quit the "cancer" posts for a while.

It was getting to me.

I am sure it will pop up in my post here and 

there but I just can't.......

anymore.

We  had a beautiful weekend this past weekend at the "Little House!"

It rained over 24 hours so we spent some good quality time inside.

We rested, we spent time together, we watched some t.v., put a puzzle together

and cooked! 

Imagine that right? 

Cooking?

(Smile)

We also went fishing the next day when the weather was good!

Of course, he won! 

I bet he caught 12-15 Crappie!

He was loving it.

This is the only fish I caught!

Yep!

I just knew I would win, but I didn't.

Oh well, next time!

Now you may look at me and think I feel great,

but I will tell you a little secret.

I honestly didn't feel wonderful.

Maybe I rested too much.

I don't know. But something caused my back to act up.

But I kept going. Then we got ready to go.

I knew I didn't feel good but I thought it would pass.

I actually woke up with it Sunday morning and it continued to get worse.

Today, Monday, we are home and I have not done much at all.

I have did a little laundry and warmed up some leftovers but

I felt like I needed to rest.

Today I put this quote on my facebook page and it is so true.

“Life is amazing. And then it's awful. And then it's amazing again. And in between the amazing and awful it's ordinary and mundane and routine. Breathe in the amazing, hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary. That's just living heartbreaking, soul-healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life. And it's breathtakingly beautiful.”
