The Road Less Traveled

• Apr. 10, 2008 - It's finally warming up!

I'm doing a happy dance right now.  I can see green on my lawn!  Most of our snow has melted, and we are now entering glorious mud season.  It sounds strange to me, to be happy about all of the mud that is already beginning to move into my house.  Doesn't matter!  *heeeheeeheeeheeeheee*  We can go outside without enough clothing to survive the arctic!  We (almost) don't need snow boots anymore! I had forgotten what the base of a tree looks like: We really do have a brown, not white, driveway: My kids can almost use the swing set again! : We have been celebrating our new-found paradise this week..outside...the windows are open for part of each day...*heeeeeheeeeeeheeeeeeheeeee*....my kids are tearing up the grass instead of our bookshelves... We are experiencing such a blessed time right now.  God is so, so, so, so awesome!  My husband is home while there is still daylight.  He can play with the boys outside after work.  We all get to have dinner together, as a whole family, every night!  We are all over that horrible flu that I hope never, ever, ever comes back!  My oldest and I are now able to begin to train together for a three mile running race in July.  He just finished a study on Eric Liddell, and has been bitten by the running race bug!   We are training three times per week.  Let me tell you, I am feeling old- the boy runs longer and faster than I do.  I actually have to work hard to keep up with him!  A month ago, this was not possible.  Besides there being nowhere outside to run, my energy level was severely low.  I was diagnosed with low thyroid function, which has been helped by medication.  The Lord has really blessed each of us.  Praise God!
