So I Have Been Busy Again

So I have been busy.  Chiefs winning the Super Bowl.  We watched from home.  This was after I came back from whirlwind trip to city to see my cousin whose mom died (my great aunt and my Granny's best friend). She was 95.

Then I got to see my Uncle who went on hospice and support my aunt.  I am so happy my uncle got to witness another Super Bowl win for his beloved Chiefs.

Then I had to turn around after the visit and pack and go to my Great Aunt's funeral back at the lake in my hometown.  It was nice to see my cousins and all our family from all over...Texas, Colorado, Ariona, Georgia, Missouri...  My sister and my cousins and I rented an Airbnb with a pretty view.

Then we did get to enjoy Super Bowl from our own home, DH and I (and our dogs!),

I have also been lucky enough to enjoy some pretty hikes lately.

I am getting spring fever.

This is what over $100 gets for a funeral now a days.  Crazy.

December Wellness Challenge

Day 1 was go to bed an hour early.  I went to bed late after a long emotional day and 8 hours driving.  Then, I was up an hour early because I could not go back to sleep.

The benefit was wonderful but stressful, my sister and I are reminded of how much we miss my mom when we deal with cancer, and we were around many people at the event,  which zaps energy.  Especially difficult going back to our home town, where our mother passed away in 1991.

Was good to have a low key day Sunday.  I am happy to substitute something very meaningful for my extra hour of sleep.

We stopped by our childhood church and met the current minister.  We got a photo of both my mother's memorial stain glass window and we got a picture of my granny's memorial to my grandfather...a photograph of Jesus.  It is amazing.

I will do 2 days tomorrow and be caught up.  Sunday we make a list of 10 things we are grateful for:
  1.  Jesus
  2.  Love of my amazing man
  3.  Family
  4.  Friends
  5.  2nd chances
  6.  My dogs
  7.  Our comfortable, cozy, customized, organized, paid for house.
  8.  My health
  9.  My sense of humor
  10.  Our flannel sheets
