illo friday- speed

I'm coming in kind of late with my illo friday contribution.(not even going to bother posting it to illo friday site) But I thought this little guy would be appropriate.
"Slow and steady wins the race", as they say.

"Speed" is something I'm always battling. I try to rush and do too much and in the end make myself physically ill and burned out.

I want to slow down and enjoy the process, y'know? Savor the journey regarding all aspects of my life. Really, that's what it's all about isn't it? Enjoying the here and now because who knows what tomorrow will bring.

On the homefront we have been dealing with the shock that a dearly loved family member has been diagnosed with an aggressive , incurable cancer. We're all having a difficult time grasping and accepting the situation. It has only been three years since my husbands mom lost her battle with cancer and now it's his dads turn. 

Here is a picture of my lovely father in law, "pops" with his new bride ,Ms. Sue. She has been such a blessing for all of us. We would appreciate prayers if you feel a prompting to do so.

As my friend snowbear would say..

*Hatu*-- hugs across the universe

I'll send some big hugs too. Sorry to hear about your father-in-law. Cancer is a tough thing-I lost my 5 year nephew last June to it. Hang in there.

Oh how utterly heartbreaking, Holly. I'm so sorry to read this.

*hatu*s to Pops and your family.

Oh man. The older I get, the more I think of cancer as one living thing, The Enemy. It takes too many people. Do you know The Valley Song? By Jars of Clay? I find it a very comforting song. Lots of prayers for you and yours.

Oh Roz, I am so sorry again to hear this. Seeing your husband's father's picture is heartbreaking. What a tough time for you all.I will keep you all in my prayers and hope you can find comfort in each other and the time you have left with him.
