Glad you enjoyed some of my favorite quotes. <br /><br />I was someone who was always looking around the next bend in the road, and missing the moment I was in. Until a few years ago after developing a chronic illness. A lot of stuff converged at that time. To make a long story short a couple of the best things that came of that difficult time were learning to live in the moment, and appreciating some of the smallest things I used to take for granted.<br /><br />The thoughts I included in this post resonate deeply with me, and were in mind during my husband's recent surgery and recovery. They helped me through what might otherwise have been a much more stressful time.<br /><br />MBT, isn't it ironic. I've thought of these things more than usual with recent events - the birth of my granddaughter, my husband's surgery, and now, our dear Katie's medical crisis. One of the things I've admired most about Katie as I've gotten to know her through her writing, is her determination to live - I mean really <i>live.</i> I believe that determination, and the love, prayers, and energy of everyone who cares for her, even total strangers who are praying for her, holding her in their hearts, sending her all the positive energy they can muster, will carry her through this and back to us.garden girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284047851881823280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7447389184218295999.post-10864289046177185632010-02-28T14:40:14.032-06:002010-02-28T14:40:14.032-06:00I didn't see this post until today.

I've always loved winter, and snow, but increasingly find the gardening season too short in MI (looking at blooms on others' blogs starting now doesn't help, either!). Also, we don't always have enough snow. Harumph.

The words of living each and every second to the fullest ring true. As my mother always used to say, "Life's too short".
