Nothing compares to the smile of excitement that contagiously spreads across your child’s face. “This is a milestone” Ethan proclaimed as he received the first car parts for his rebuild on the drift car. I asked him today if he felt ready to juggle college and his co-op. He said he thinks he will be quite tired but will be able to do it.

Work hard, play hard. Paul and I have been trying to Model this for our kids. Sometimes it is not all fun and games, but other times it is. Get your work done and then play.

We did an earlier dialysis session after completing a hard work week.  When done, we left for camping for the weekend with great friends. It was so needed. As I sat around the fire tonight, the smell of burning pine, bug spray and citronella. Perfect!

The bugs were communicating to each other in the trees. The crickets were singing the song of their people. The chatter of our friends was not only comforting but medicine to heal the soul. Laughter truly is THE best medicine.

Sometimes deep breaths and friends makes life all better.
