29 days have past...

since my last entry....when I got the call that changed my life, and I felt like I stopped breathing for a few seconds, and I began to shake like a leaf.  29 days of my life....about half of them a blur....the other half a battle of the mind, body, and spirit.  29 days of my life that I feel like I lost, yet I know I gained numerous more days than I can imagine.  29 days of faithful prayer warriors, family, and friends rallying around me from all over the world, cheering for me, loving me, and holding me close in their daily thoughts and prayers.  I wonder what the next 29 days hold?  Strength, recovery, tests, a return to a somewhat normal life.  I am HOME, there's no place better to be.  So far it's the little things I realized that LIFE is made of....petting your beloved kitties, watching them wash their face with their precious little paw, waking up from an uninterrupted  nap on the couch to reach back and stretch and find a kitty laying behind you, being able to look in your pantry for what you want for lunch, soft toilet paper (gotta love Charmin Ultra).  It's the little things that make up the GOOD LIFE.  It's not about how big your home is, or how stocked your closet is, or whether you finished your to do list....It's about appreciating those who take care of you when you're sick, it's about ringing a bell representing your strong enough to go home after receiving a transplant, it's about a little grey kitty who just keeps rubbing up against you and meowing.  That my friends is what life is about.  Now that I'm home, I'll be blogging again....please come by every day to see what is going in my life....some days will be medical info, but for the most part....this blog is just about everyday life and how we need to all slow down and take time to smell the roses....A

We praise God on your behalf for your return home. You are in our prayers for your continued recovery. Thanks for the reminder about what really matters. I decided to skip my chores tonight and sit by my boys while we watch Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving. Ahhh, the little things.......they really are the big things.
Love,
Tonya
