Taking my moment to say Thank You.........

I think it is really interesting how you can be doing something and all of the sudden you get this feeling that you need to do something, call someone, go somewhere or whatever it may be. Call it intuition, call a spiritual prompting, call it whatever you want. I personally believe it is a spiritual prompting. Here's my point.

I put Abby in this nook in her bedroom and I have a child's gate that keeps her from getting out. I do this everyday so she can play and I can get things done around the house. So I went off and was taking care of some things for Mitch downstairs. I had been downstairs maybe 10 minutes when right in the middle of something that I was doing I had this very real voice inside my head prompt me to go check Abby.

So acting quickly I stopped and I headed right for the stairs to go up to her room. There at the top of the stairs was Abby. She had gotten the child gate down and made her way to the stairs. She has no experience going down the stairs so taking that first step down is a dangerous one for her. Anyway, I got to her and she is fine. A little scared but fine.

Ok, I know I making more out of this than I should and I hope you all don't think I am a bad mom for doing what I did. I have since put up better gates and more of them. :) My point is, how many times have we been provoked to do something and we either ignore it or think I will do that later but never get to it. Chances are if she had fallen down the stairs she would have been ok. Maybe bruised a little and scared to death and heaven only knows how bad I would have felt if anything had happened to her but ok.

So taking this moment, I want my friends and family to know that I love them and I am grateful for them. I love talking to them, sharing emails, or visiting with them. We get so caught up in life sometimes that it is easy to let time pass and before you know it a month or a year has gone by and we say where did all the time go?

There is so much unhappiness and unrest in this world. I am thankful for the peace and comfort that comes from family and friendships and when your own world gets rocked a little there is a place that you can anchor to until you get things back together.

By the way, I don't want you think that there is something wrong with me, I am just fine. I just wanted to say thank you while things are good and I have that moment where I feel I just need to say thank you and I am grateful for each and everyone of you. You have all brought joy and experiences into my life that without I may not be the person I am today.
