Being Fluid & Random Thoughts

The most important thing I have learned in our days is to be fluid, it seems there is always something changing the flow of our day but we don't let it ruin our day. Today our Dentist Office called and asked if I could bring all of our Kiddos in to have their teeth cleaned, they had a cancellation and they could get all three kids in if we could be there in a little over an hour, I thought for a second and then thought heck ya lets do it, we have the time and they have the time so why not! That task is one of my least favorite in the whole wide world and now it is done for six months. As we were driving earlier Hallee was noticing all the EVERGREENS or as she calls them FOREVER GREEN trees, it is always fun to see her learning and taking in the world. Hunter asked me where I was on September 11, 2001, I vaguely remember the details of that day because my stroke took alot of memories or pieces of memories, I tried as detailed as I could to tell him what I could remember, but what I do remember is that it was as I described to him almost as if the world stood still for just a bit, even though I know it didn't and it was a day of disaster! There is a Kid, I say kid because he was only in his 20s so to me he is a kid, anyways he asked me why I always seem so happy! I told him that I'm not always happy but I do try to face life optimistically. He looked at me as if I was speaking a foreign language. So I just said "Listen, When You Sit In A Hospital For 7 Days After You Have Had A Stroke Not Knowing If You Are Gonna Live Or Die, You Live Each Day As If It Is Your Last" He still looked puzzled.....No one gets it unless they have had a near death experience, it really isn't worth trying to explain. Trust me I have days where my mind is as negative as everyone else but then the positive thoughts commence and onward and upward we go. I live with one of the most negative people I know, my Husband is a natural doom and gloom person, trust me it wears on a person, you just have to stay positive always as best you can, trust me it can always always always always always be worse!! Keep Calm & Mom On!
