Evaluating the Everyday Hurt

I have been really evaluating why I have chosen to do the things that I have done in the past. It is amazing the choices I have made without realizing, "WHY?" When my son, Anthony left home about 8 years ago I stopped cooking. I enjoyed cooking when he lived at home. He loved to eat. It made me sad to cook and eat at the table without him. His chair was empty. Only recently, I realized I was protecting myself from the sadness, hurt and pain inside I was feeling. For the past couple of weeks I find myself passionate about cooking again. I think the lesson here is to evaluate your subconscious and if it is serving you.

Autism Awareness

April is Autism awareness month. I just wanted to say how thankful I am for the progress of my boys. For those of you that are touched by it, please don't give up hope! I believe in all things and miracles.

My Son Calls Home

Husband wasn't feeling to well over the weekend. Brought him to get checked out. Pains in the chest turned out out to be gas. Thank God. AJ my 16yo son called me on my cell phone, on his own, where he lives and said, "Mom is Dad ok?" "Tell Dad I love him and you too Mom." My son who really didn't speak, couldn't retain much cause of seizures, remembered my number and dialed on his own." Today be grateful for the health of your children. Sometimes we are so busy with life we forget how fortunate we truly are.
