@Cynthia – glad you enjoyed the challenge! I have to keep practicing on some as well, but things definitely go better when I do…I also want to get as much life out of living as I can. One of the reasons I’m continually figuring out adventures!

I will continue to work on all of these rules. Some feel like second nature to me now. Others – well let’s say I need to keep practicing!

@LauraK- I am so sorry for your loss. And yes, so much more to do! It is so hard to understand.

@JGold – thank you. And too bad about the eye strain! I know I’m probably playing with fire with all the reading on my phone in the dark but hey…my little guy won’t need someone in the room forever, or at least I hope…

@Kamala – thank you. And yes, we should appreciate fleeting beauty, in all the forms it takes.

@Amanda- thank you, and so glad you got to have your cherry blossom little adventure! They are indeed beautiful.

I wanted to thank you for sharing about the cherry blossoms. I live w/i walking distance of the metro and hadn’t considered going due to kids activities. Your post prompted me to hop on the train after church for a “little adventure.”

We don’t know how long we are here, so let’s take time for appreciating the fleeting cherry blossoms, and all the loving people in our lives.
