More blessings and some prayers...

I guess I do not think about this as often as I should, but I have been really blessed. Okay, so maybe I woke up with a bad leg cramp and our little baby is kicking a bruise onto the *inside* of my belly, but if those are the worst things that happen in a given day, I guess I have few complaints. :) We were doing our taxes and going through our finances the other day, and I realized that I really never want for anything I cannot have. We are far from rich, at least finanacially, but we really do not think there is much missing from our lives. The things I really wish for are not really as tangible, like:

• My parents and in-laws living closer to us. As they get older, I wish they did not live so far away
• My sister and her husband within driving distance, so that we do not have to wait until the big tradeshows to see them
• Time to work on my scrapbook and photography
• Being closer to my grandmother

My grandmother had a minor stroke this week. It really emphasized to me how delicate life really is. Please keep her in your prayers. Thanks!
