Last night was one of those evenings that had ENERGY written all over it. Trista, Sam and I ..... headed out to Mylee's basketball game. This was a BIG RIVALRY game and it was standing room only. Lots of noise and a lot of people...And the BEST part? WE WON. The final score was 61 to 36 🏀. I may have cheered a little louder than I had planned to. lol.
In other news: My heart did a Happy Dance not only yesterday with the Penguin, but it danced on Wednesday and Thursday as well. I received my "Ireland itinerary" this past week. I can hardly believe it's finally becoming real. Ireland has been sitting on my bucket list for years. I can't wait to visit this beautiful green Country.
I'm beyond excited, but as always, everything will hinge on how Sam is feeling. I'm taking things one step at a time, holding plans with open hands and a hopeful heart.
My calendar for the rest of this month is almost completely filled. Between Sam's appointments and a couple of my own, it's one of those seasons where life feels busy but meaningful. I do have one appointment that I am not thrilled about. I have a big knot that has come up in the middle of my left hand, and it definitely needs to be checked out. Nothing like your body reminding you to pay attention.
And then...because family knows exactly when to brighten your day, our family message group delivered the sweetest surprise: Two photos of the great grands. This was instant smiles and joy for both Sam and myself. These kids sure have a way of stealing our hearts all over again every single time we get a new picture. I just love them so much.
All in all, it's been a mix of cheers, travel plans, responsibilities and gratitude....what I call real life in motion.
Happy Saturday...
Shug...💚
Praying for yours and Sam's good health. I hope the Ireland trip goes through - you'll love Dublin. Don't forget to have a Guinness whilst you're there - or two! And buy a record/CD by The Dubliners.
