30 Day Challenge completed!

Here we are at the finish line!  Day 30 out of my 30-day blog challenge.  My tendency, that I'm fighting against right now, is to blaze right over this accomplishment.  I've noticed that often I don't stop to properly celebrate the reaching of a goal.  Instead my thoughts rush to the next step.  For instance, I was preparing on how I was going to do justice to a description of my Mom (which I will save for another post soon), remark on some of the comments from last post about Mom (thank you Bustling Butterflies and Niki), and decide/introduce what my plan was going to be from here out in this single blog post.  Then it dawned on me...I've reached my goal.  This should be a celebratory post!

Wooohooo!!!  There is also something else that is even a better reason to celebrate.  My Dad called today with great news from the doctor.  His cancer is contained and will be treatable!  Wait a minute, while we're in the party mood...it's my hubby's birthday tomorrow!  I could go on with this list of wonderful things but I'll stop before I get too excited and can't go to sleep.  It's amazing how your thoughts can totally alter your world.  In the span of a few minutes of writing I have transformed my whole outlook.  I began writing with a bit of apprehension on fitting so many subjects into one post. Once I realized I needed to appreciate the right now... my 30 Day Challenge victory, my Dad's treatable cancer and my sweetheart's birthday, my tune quickly changed.

I need this blog.  It has been more rewarding than I could have ever imagined.  I want you to know that your comments and the fact you read this has touched me in so many ways.  I plan to keep writing about fergitude.  I want this adventure to continue.  I hope to have you beside me in our journey.
