It appears that I spent too much time out in the great outdoors recently so I am now full of allergies and other lovely congestion. This has led to an evening where I have almost lost my voice. Some would say that probably is a good thing! Others would just ask me to speak up! All of my children are asleep and I have sat here tonight thinking alot about where I am in life. The dreams of an 18 year old were much different than where I am now. I will be the first to say however, that I am happy because I choose to be so and because had I followed the path of the 18 year old I would not have my wonderful husband and my beautiful daughter. That girl was going to Egypt to dig up history or at least restore it at home. I miss that but think maybe I did it before in another life so move on girl! Anyway, I also thought a lot about the friends I have had and lost along the way. Those who have left us too early - Angie. Those who have chosen another path - Brannon and Heather. Those whom I miss but are right next door - Tricia. These friends are still apart of me in that they helped shape who I am now. I thank them and all of you who are here with me today! Each of you has brought into my world a little part of yourself and for that I am thankful! My only hope is that I honor that by being the best friend, mother, wife....that I can be! I truly do want to leave this place someday with the knowledge that maybe I helped someone just a little and that I left a little part of myself with you!
Yes I know deep thoughts! Sometimes they happen when you can not speak!
