Yesterday the day started off pretty well. I was getting things done around the house and then I ran into a series of technical difficulties. Then I spoke to the technical people and started to get some things fixed. Unfortunately, once those things were fixed, I discovered that Max had helped himself to my flour. For what reason, I have no idea, but it was all over the pantry, in the kitchen and all over him. It was such a huge mess and I know I only took my eye off of him for a few moments to actually get something else done. I was so disheartened and tired thinking about replacing the flour and why it isn't legal or to tie up little kids when they do stuff like this, not to mention the fact that he was a ten pound baby and I was in labor for hours and hours with him... but then I decided to call my parents and see how they are doing. My dad told me that he was cancer free!!! It's something how things can seem to be dismal and futile one moment and just plain joyous the next. I mean cancer free supercedes flour everywhere, kids fighting, my day being off schedule, technical difficulties. Everything. I'm just happy now and thankful now.

That certainly is a good way to put things in perspective. Great news about your dad!
It is amazing how we can lose perspective and stress about the little things. Glad to hear about your dad. It doesn't matter how many little day to day things go wrong when all is well with the ones we love.
Thanks Chele and Advice Maven!
