Life is good.

Hi there friends! I am back to announce my winner… I felt this person asked me a question that really started me off on something that has really changed me.

 Kimmie  asked the magic question: I’m going to ask ….. what was the best lesson that you ever learned to help you through life??

That there is nothing more important than family and friends. When I became ill last year and was hospitalized, it was a real turning point for me. I took a good hard look at my life and couldn’t believe how much I took for granted. Especially those that love me. Life is what you make of it- if you want it to be good it’s up to you.

Some of people may be sick of me talking about it , but it is a HUGE part of who I have become over the last year and who I am.  Last year in June, I had a blood clot. To make a long story short, the clot broke off into my lungs and I was in and out of the hospital for 2 weeks. I was told that had I ignored the pain in my leg and chest that I could have went to bed and never woken up. That scared the CRAP out of me.

Needless to say, I made some changes both physically and meantally. I never realized how much I was loved. I mean I know that I am loved, but to see that fear in their eyes and the worry it just puts things in perspective. I am so blessed in my marrige, family and friends.

I *try* really hard not to sweat the small stuff.

I count my blessings everyday.

I tell my loved ones “I love you.” every single day.

I smile.

I laugh.

I *try* to be the best person I can be.

I remember how precious life is and how blessed I am to be alive.

These are some of the most important lessons that I have ever learned. I am so thankful to have learned these things at a young age. Unfortunately it took me getting sick to realize a lot of these things- BUT I learned them.
That is the story of why Life is good.

I also want you to meet one half of my very best friends… meet Kelly. Kelly is my sister for those of you who don’t know. She is an identical twin. Our sister, Lisa, and my other best friend,  lives in Pittsburgh. Pictures of her to come! We miss her like crazy and call her all the time. I just wanted you all to meet Kelly- a lot of my SCS friends would like to put a face with a name. Isn’t she cute?? Lisa is obviously just as cute!

Stamping to resume tomorrow! I have lots of stuff to show you all! Have a great night and again, thanks for reading my blog. I had such fun answering all your questions! You all rock!

Hugs,

Andrea
