To say that yesterdays' events at the Boston Marathon were awful, doesn't begin to describe it and I wasn't there.
My first thought when I heard the news was worry and panic for family and friends who live and work in the area. Once I had touched base with everyone, the media had little to no new information except for numbers of injured runners and spectators going up and up. By the time I got home from work all the news stations were showing video and pictures.....
It may be naive to ask, but why? What was the person(s) hoping to accomplish by bombing runners in a marathon taking place on a Massachusetts Holiday - Patriots Day?
While I feel relief (and very thankful!) that everyone in my little world is ok, to all those who are not, you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Thankful
While I usually think of being 'thankful' around Thanksgiving, I have been hit with the feeling a few times in the past weeks and it's made me stop and appreciate those moments when everything just seems so good - 'my cup runneth over'
Stretching the budget to cover not just what we have to do, but what we want to do!
finding the tree you want at home Depot 50% off and cramming 8 in the back of a Corolla
the birds that woke me up this morning,
a beautiful day,
a warm cup of coffee,
for old friends that are more like family,
my brother in Texas who's finally feeling better
for husband's who work hard and stay home to take care of babies and dogs so wives can can have a girls day,
for strange movies, gluten-free chocolate chip cookies, facetime with grandparents,
for family and friends who love us no matter how far away we are.
for unconditional love. It comes in all shapes and sizes and sometimes when you least expect it.
Bottom Line? I feel very blessed and lucky to live the life I do and for all the people who are in it!
