Life is good
This past week I've learned that life can be really tough, but friends
and family make those times easier... and make good times great.
I spent all day with the Palios family last Wednesday, the day of Uncle
John's funeral service and burial. Everyone was pretty much a
mess during the day... but by that night, the cousins and kids were all
re-telling his favorite stories and re-enacting the practical jokes he
used to play at the restaurant. And of course we were eating lots
of food. I think he would have loved it. The course of the
day made me really appreciate the meaning of Ecclesiastes 3:1-8...
especially 3:4, which is "A time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to
mourn and a time to dance." There will no doubt be more time to
weep and mourn... but the good news is, that also means there will be
time to laugh and dance.
Here's a top 10 list of the good things that have happened lately...
1. Found my passport and going to Cuba!! wahoooo
2. Our Cuba group rocks my face off ('specially since Andrew is going)
