When you have a loved one that is sick, you know how short and precious life is. But the day-to-day grind of life can wipe it from your mind. This list helps me stay focused on what is important each day and keeps my focus on what is important.
1. Upon arising in the morning, one must immediately say “My goal today is….”
2. Live with the 3 Es: Energy, Enthusiasm and Empathy.
3. Play more games than last year.
4. Read more books than last year.
5. Look at the sky at least once a day, appreciating the majesty of the world that surrounds us.
6. Smile and laugh more often.
7. Make peace with your past, so as not to ruin your present.
8. Learn something new every day.
9. Work will not take care of us when we are sick. Our friends will. Stay in contact with them.
10. Each day, before going to sleep, say: I am thankful for _______________. Today, I succeeded in _____________________.
My friend gave birth to a happy, healthy baby on the 13th. I remember a time when she experienced a great tragedy and now she is experiencing a great joy. The cycle of life which is ever changing gives us strength during the challenges we face. I hold unto this each day, no matter what the future holds.

Things Still Going Well...
As of Easter Sunday, we celebrated four months since the diagnosis and prognosis of 4 to 6 weeks. We will take all the time that we can get!!!
Saturday was a beautiful day and Tasha took full advantage of it. See the picture below of her day of relaxing in the sun and periodic Frisbee playing.
We came in from the day of fresh air and Tasha was ready for some serious sleep. As you can see below, once she was out, she wasn't getting up until morning. Thank goodness Horton was up for a long sleep too (Horton is her stuffed elephant that grandma gave her)
Today, I am working from home while the pups relax and enjoy the day in the office with me.
Our trip to Nebraska is just two weeks away. We are looking forward to seeing how the pups react to an RV trip.
Well back to work for me and back to napping for the pups!
