The Day Everything Changed...

We all get so busy with life....day in...day out...run here...run there....get this done...get that done....check...check...just makes me tired thinking about it. We should take each day and make the most of it....you never know when it all could change....

There are so many significant days in my life that have shaped...changed who i am...

• first kiss
• first heart break....totally cried too much!!
• a blind date....man of my life...father of children... 
• high school graduation (night before with my Rose...what a night!)
• the day I met kara...I thought...I really want to be friends with her.
• college graduation....now what...10 years later...I am still saying now what?
• wedding.....beautiful day
• my sweet baby Mason is born....love him so much my heart hurts
• my grandfather's death...sometimes I think he took so much good with him...miss him
• my mom's heart surgery....longest day in my life not hearing her voice
• Patrick goes to IRAQ....Patrick returns....I wanted it to be so perfect for those guys...what a special homecoming
• My Sweet Sam Bo is born....my heart is so big and full of love for my 2 boys
• meeting Tanna and giving her a picture of mason with Sam's due date on the back of it so we could plan for her to keep them both one day...it was El Mexico and she had us at Hello...LOL
• New Job
• Another New Job
• Friends Coming and Going in and out of my life...for one reason or another
• the day Erin called me for the first time for pictures....
• My dad's retirement from Jostens
• my family extended by nieces and nephews
• Brooklyn died....uhh...that knocks the breath out of me just typing it
• living with death for many days....many many days....still today....uhhh
• ok...the day you decide to pick yourself up and make the best of it...the best of everything...THAT IS THE DAY

There is so much that can happen to us on a daily basis...some good...some bad...some life sustaining...some life changing....I don't know about you...but I am going live and learn more....love and laugh more...and ASK more from God when I need something....One thing is for sure....you will get more out of life....if you put more into it....If you make bad choices....you will get bad results....choose wisely.....seek wisdom in all that you do....and we all know there is only one place you can find wisdom and it is not found on this blog...face book...twitter....or TV's latest reality show....WE KNOW where to go...so is this the DAY you decide to seek wisdom?

Good days or Bad days...key is never to forget....there is a lesson in all that we "walk through"...key is to keep walking.

One day not listed above is 9/11...
Lord, I pray we never forget the tragedy of that day...the sacrifices made...the lives lost and the lives saved. I pray for each family member still mourning today and for the soldiers still fighting. I pray we find that spirit of Patriotism today and everyday as we found the love of the USA during that horrific time. I believe that will make America Stronger. God's blessings to you all. Amen
