The sweet Spring sun caressed my skin and warmed my aching bones this afternoon while the lilac scent hung on the breeze and drifted my way as I sat on the stoop waiting for the kids to come home.
I so yearned for healing rays on those cold ,gray days in rehab right after my accident in November and then with Winter dragging 
on mercilessly while recuperating at home .
That frigid ice storm that had it’s grip on Kentucky making it feel more like my time in Massachusetts didn’t help , and more recently Spring weather taunted us here and there and suddenly *poof * everything went back down to 40 or 50 F again.
My circulation isn’t what it should be yet and so my body really wavers between way too cold and then too hot with blankets on.
It sounds like a few days of warmer weather are beckoning us over the next weekend and hopefully a trend I can easily follow of more weather to come.
Life is hectic these days with Eddie’s kids activities and schedule , friends visiting, and my daughter moving an hour away closer to her work now.
This will be the first time she’s ever been that far away from me.It’s going to be strange. In my family, having a military background , we were not always close to my parents geographically depending on the assignment.
My parents are still in Texas , the last time I saw them was when they came down after my accident.It was good to see them , I know that they were pretty scared for me.
I am still going to physical therapy twice a week and getting stronger, but still not up to snuff yet.
Most days I am tired at the end of the evening , but look forward to another day , because I was allowed more after Nov. 16 , 2008.
Every moment now has a special flavor, appreciation and wonder at what is and can still be .
My daughter in the pink, then our friends, Sharon , Juanita, Doug and Susanne plus my Eddie pictured above .
