How time can get away from me! I can not think of anything specific to blog about today, so I will just share some of my randoms with you.

Well, we had a great spring break! I was able to have a good visit with one of my sister- in-laws, and find that a different, sometimes more experienced view on life's adventures can bring comfort and peace in some of the most unexpected ways. So thank you for listening and chatting with me. Thank you for lifting my pack, my load was feeling quite heavy. I find at times I am feeling burdened and overwhelmed, that God places people in my path to help in sending his tender mercies.

We were able to visit with my family some as well. I met my Sisters special someone and he seems like a pretty good guy. I hope she will get things straightened out so she can experience some long needed happiness. She deserves it. My parents are always fun to visit, even if they only want to see the grand kids...lol! I had a great chat with my mom.

The older children were able to join us off and on. I enjoyed seeing them and watching them with their siblings. We took some family pics, played games, down loaded music and visited...along with delicious food, we had a great time. I am blessed to have them in my life. They are blessed to have each other as well. Heavenly Father took many things into consideration when he put them together. For me and for them.

I guess this wasn't so random after all. I am thankful for so many things today. My heart is full.

Well, it seems I may have talked a little too soon about the weather being in my favor...lol! We had rain the two days following and snow to boot. Yes, I have not lost hope in seeing the rays of sun shine for more than a day at a time, but it looks like it will be a bit further down the well beaten path.

Until that time, I have work to do. I will show that Mr. weather, I will drag myself out of feeling suppressed by the walls of my home. I will show the weather man. I will clean my house, take my car in for an oil change, do crafts with the kiddo's, I will show him, I might even start my spring cleaning early this year. That'll show him who is boss!

He may have slowed me down for a moment, but I will pick up my feet and enjoy these rainy days! Humph! I will! Because I can.

The weather seems to be warming! I am so excited! Don't get me wrong, I enjoy being home with the family, but it will be pleasant to enjoy them in the great outdoors.

I love this time of year. You can hear birds returning to their homes, see green blades of grass as it peeks from under melting mounds of snow, children are out playing and soaking in the suns rays as they romp in sweaters and enjoy the warmer weather.

Soon we will find blossoms pocking their heads up from their long winter naps, the trees will come to life with lush green leaves and the cheery sounds of birds singing in their branches.

Life will once again be enjoyed from outside on bicycles, mid-day walks and playing in the park. Spring and summer are certainly something to look forward to.
