Hannah headed off to her first day of 4th Grade. She seemed very excited this morning when she left for the bus stop. It is hard for me to believe she is in the 4th Grade, time goes too quickly!
Yesterday, Scott asked me to go for a ride on his motorcycle with him. I don't remember the last time I rode and honestly didn't feel well enough to go, but knew it would make him happy. I took a pain pill, strapped on my oxygen, and we hit the road. I am so glad I went!
It was a beautiful day, there was very little traffic, and we rode on some of the most lovely wooded back roads in our area. I felt so alive. While we were on that bike, all I could do was drink in the wonderful surroundings, feel the wind wash over me, and thank God for all that He has given me. I forgot how sick I have been feeling, how tired, how low, and basked in the glory of the day and the feeling of my husband close by and protective. I never wanted that ride to end.
Please, take the time in your own lives to find that release; to escape from your everyday cares and worries and just enjoy life and living! It will bring you a renewed sense of energy and strength to face the struggles of tomorrow.
Love to you all! Nancy

Hi Nancy,
It definately is amazing how fast it goes!! Hannah looks so cute going off to 4th grade!! Chris and I were just joking around last night saying there will be a day again when we can acctually go to a movie again. But the truth is, those days will be here before we know it and we will be wishing for the kids to all be small again. Good for you going on the motorcycle ride. What a great time of year to go and and enjoy the beautiful world. Hope today is just as amazing!!
Lots of love hugs and prayers,
Amy
Oh Nancy! You do have way of reminding us to pay attention the things in life that truly matter!
4th grade! WOW! The years will only go faster and faster. I have to admit I have loved every single phase of my girls' lives. Even though some are a little EASIER than others...Each one that they grow through is just as fun as the last.
Thinkin of you today! AND LOOOOVING that new slideshow! TOO COOL!
Good evening Nancy! Wonderful you got out on that motorcycle with the hubby! Glad you did, it sounds like it was so refreshing!

Hoping you had a wonderful beautiful day! Lots of prayers for you all today:)!!
Lots of Love,
