The birds were chirpin' and starting in on their day.<br /><br />My thoughts rushed into my head of everything I have to get accomplished today. Why is it before we can even get out of bed that this and that, then this and that are running rampant.<br /><br />I stumbled out of bed, Louie on my heels, and down the stairs...everyone still snoring peacefully throughout the house.<br /><br />By turning on a power button on the computer, the day starts....<br /><br />Dylan wandered upstairs giving me a hug to start my day! He got Em up and she wandered upstairs after a bit with breakfast in hand to watch the news.<br /><br />My thoughts are still running rampant this morning, but thoughts of blessings and how lucky I am are first and foremost now.<br /><br />What was the change...a simple e-mail from the organizer of a blog party. A few months ago I began following blogs. It all started reading a blog of a former classmate who was adopting a child from Ghana. Then I started wandering around....<br /><br />I have read about adoption, I have read about horses, I have read about a special little girl in North Carolina, I have read about little ones who fight cancer....and I have read the grief of the families who have lost their precious family members. All from just starting to read one blog....<br /><br />The blog party was for a little one who had lost her battle earlier this year...little Tuesday. I found out I won one of the gift baskets! What a slap-in-the-face-reminder this morning of how lucky I am. I am honored to of been able to give to such a wonderful family.<br /><br />It was extra special to give hugs to the kids as they left for school....and to wake Shane up this morning.<br /><br />Thanks to the caring people who set up, organized and donated to Tuesday's Blog Party. <br /><br />I have found more blogs to follow now....all from just one about a little boy being adopted by a former classmate that I didn't even really know.....<br /><br />Blessings for a fantastic day!!!!<br />Kate<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6252260529635168810-2192428367193032227?l=heartbeatsofhalcyon.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00854168760819496236noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6252260529635168810.post-4962043348895046832009-05-06T17:16:00.002-05:002009-05-06T17:19:08.196-05:00<span style="font-size:100%;">I'm so excited...<br /><br />I just can't hide it...<br /><br />I have a comment button....<br /><br />For now....<br /><br />Or at least until I change the design of the blog again....<br /><br />Thank you &amp; God Bless!<br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6252260529635168810-496204334889504683?l=heartbeatsofhalcyon.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00854168760819496236noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6252260529635168810.post-43031872085924485652009-05-06T08:03:00.002-05:002009-05-06T08:05:57.802-05:00<span style="font-size:100%;">I'm a blogging newbie....<br /><br />Bare with me as I get my blog set up....<br /><br />I haven't figured out where my comment link has went....<br /><br />I'm pathetic....<br /><br />I know it....<br /><br />But, my heart is in the right place....<br /><br />I'm still searching for the comment link code....<br /><br />Where are you????<br /><br /><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6252260529635168810-4303187208592448565?l=heartbeatsofhalcyon.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00854168760819496236noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6252260529635168810.post-17892584173614511152009-05-04T13:30:00.000-05:002009-05-04T13:35:48.890-05:00Sick.<br /><br />Coughing.<br /><br />Fever.<br /><br />Aches.<br /><br />Pains.<br /><br />Why can't any of us rest? Why can't we get better?<br /><br />Why?<br /><br />Because this is part of everyone being sick. You would of thought that laying on the couch all weekend would do a body good...but nope. Not here.<br /><br />The washing machine is sick, too. The doctor was just here for it.<br /><br />Another three days?? Two maybe??? If we are lucky?????<br /><br />Our trials and tribulations are nothing in comparison to so many. We are thankful for our lives, our health and for every thing we have.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6252260529635168810-1789258417361451115?l=heartbeatsofhalcyon.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00854168760819496236noreply@blogger.com0
