My Honey and I celebrated our 48th wedding anniversary today. We got a very pleasant mixture of congrats from our 4 children and one from an old friend we sang with in Chicago at the House of Worship years ago. I am in a reminiscing mood right now so I am going to tell you a story. Every morning I wake up and thank God I am still alive, that God has brought me forth from my disappearance again another day. Reminds me of the prayer I used to say as a child: "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray Thee Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray Thee Lord my soul to take. If I should live in other days, I pray Thee Lord to guide my ways." Pretty neat, huh? One does not have to be a child to feel good about that prayer.
When I awake I can see the sunrise almost every day from our bedroom sliding door. When it is overcast the sun does not manifest itself so I miss the sunrise on those days. The sunrise is just beautiful from our room. It comes up over a mountain and in the winter one can see it through the leafless trees. I guess I won't be able to see it when the leaves all come as there is no visibility of the mountain in late Spring and all summer. We'll see (or won't see..).
Guess I will end with that so this does not get to be too long and boring a blog. Love to you all.

We all need to thank God for another day on this Earth which gives us the opportunity to let our fellow man know how much we care. But most especially, to let our family know how much we care. I love you and Dad and I thank God for every day he gives me to remember that. Even is I don't always get to tell you that.
Please don't ever limit a blog because you think its too long and boring. If it's too long and boring, we can skim or skip (not that I would) but if it's not there, we don't even have the option.
Like I tell my students when they ask "how long does it need to be?"...just tell till it's all told out.
Nice images of waking up to the sunrise.
I always seem to be a day late and a dollar short with folks blogs except for Tag because I get notified via email when he has a new post. I am just now getting to this 6 or 7 days later. I think I must be depressed, because i am having a hard time thanking anyone for anything. I don't appreciate much right now. I love my family, but I feel like an old meany who should keep her comments and her self to herself.
