Spring Forward

We lose an hour of sleep tonight, which means it's way past my bedtime. But here I am regardless.

I started the day off right with a nice long walk around the neighborhood with mom. I have so enjoyed getting to walk with her and talk and laugh and carry on. I forgot how much fun we have... it will be hard to leave again in a few months. But for now I am enjoying every minute I have back home with the family.

We spent the majority of the afternoon at Riverwalk Stadium in downtown Montgomery watching the brother play baseball. I've missed so many of his games over the past few years and it has been such a blessing to be back in town for his senior year. Baseball has been a huge part of our lives for so long, I'm not sure what we're going to do without it next year. Mom says she's going to have to find someone else to cheer for. I think we'll manage.

I am reminded today of the calm that comes after the storm. Yesterday was a nasty, dreary day that turned into a bone-chilling cold evening. But today was one of the most beautiful days I've seen in a long time. Hard times and struggle are inevitable, but better days are sure to come. I praise God for his gentle reminders.

I leave you now with what is sure to end your evening right...
