We travelled to Clemson this weekend....left on Wednesday and followed my son down. Both sides of the family are here. My mother, who I haven't seen in about 8 years and my sister and her husband came and Michael's father's sisters and his cousin from Park City came. And of course his girlfriend and bestfriend from home came up with his dad. He was thrilled to have such a large group of people here to see him graduate. Clemson is such a strong spirited school, I can see why he loved it all these years. He left with excitement but sadness - leaving his roommate of four years was tough but he's ready to start the life that is laid out before him.

We're on the road back now and are still glowing with the love that was abundantly shared the last few days. Families are great and mine doesn't get together often enough! Today, I'm goin to see my sister that I haven't seen in five years....Seriously, I've got to do something about these visits..don't you think!

Take good care of yourself,

Karen

Blessings!

"Dreamer"

It was a beautiful day today! I spent most of it working in the hospital but managed to squeeze in a long walk with the little dogs to the park after work. So long....that we had to carry Jackson, our oldest (three years old) Bischon halfway home! It's amazing that just a few days ago, things looked so dark and bleak for me. I've started reading the book "Life is a Verb" and made a conscious decision to "participate" in life and have begun to feel SO much better! Just taking a walk outside has made such a diference in my life.

My son is graduating from Clemson in two weeks - what a blessing to him and all of us! He is so excited that today is last day of class! Only yesterday, it seems that we moved him into the dorm his freshman year....Two weeks after that my niece will graduate from Salisbury University...again, it seems that it was just yesterday that she was moving in with us as a fourteen year old!

I hope that you are counting your blessings today! And taking good care of yourself.
