Monday

Hello All:
Phil is resting and I thought I'd take some time to update the blog. It's odd too think that in just 48 hours the surgery will be over (we hope) and Phil will be on the road to recovery. Odd yes, scary definitely, but in some ways it's how we live each and every day. No one knows from one day to the next what lies around the bend. Most of us wake up in the morning already having a "To Do" list. I guess the blessing for us is that we have a "Wednesday" We know that because of one day this week, our whole life seems a little more precious. We know that our "Wednesday" has caused us to step back, take a breath and consider what is important. We don't walk lightly down this path but we are confident. It's been a confirmation for each of us to find that there's not a lot of "filler" in our lives. We have tried, and will continue, to fill our life with friends, family and of course, the most important grandchild, Molly! We are sure that Phil will pass this test with flying colors. So, for us, our "Wednesday" has given us pause upon our life, our "Wednesday" is a starting gate. Phil and I are thankful that we have been given a "Wednesday" to remind us of what's most important. While I would not wish this experience for anyone, I do pray that you each are given your very own "Wednesday" and that you receive it as an opportunity to begin again.
