Spring hope

This blog is supposed to be happy. Haha!  But we just found out our 2.5 year old daughter also tested positive for Lyme disease. Booooooo. Not happy.

BUT!  She is not sick. Yay. Happy. Therefore, we have decided to not treat her. I can't imagine having to treat both of us at once. My husband would lose his marbles. (And he doesn't have many marbles to spare).

So I'm going to be happy. This spring, I have decided to enjoy the life that I DO have in front of me, even if it is not exactly "as planned". My entire life has been a series of surprises- good and bad. Why should this period in my life be any different?  Every time I have an expectation, I am disappointed. Unless, of course, I am expecting the worst and then I'm pleased. But if I spend my life expecting the worst, then I have wasted all that time worrying, when I could be enjoying the present moment.

My present moment: spring. Sunshine. My healthy and happy daughter. My husband who hasn't lost ALL his marbles. My family. My friends. HOPE.

So what if my daughter has a positive lyme test. That is under her skin.

Should we live our lives afraid of things we can't see?  Instead, I choose to have faith in what I can't see. That is a much happier existence.  And that's what this blog is all about.
