Just going day by day

I have had a crazy week this past week. Three people that my family knew passed away last week. Neil's dad started chemo and decided to scare the crap out of us when his blood sugar levels shotup during the treatment. And, my great-aunt, Tante Bea, is in the hosptal with blood clots in her lungs. So, needless to say last week was very trying. But, it also taught me alot. It helped me to be so grateful for the wonderful family and friends that I have. With the scare that we had with Neil's dad we were surround with support and concern. Thankfully everything with him turned out ok.
I am also grateful that I have the next two weeks off from work. Yes, my paycheck will be small because of it, but it'll be worth it just to have this break before all heck starts. We start all of our major end of year testing in a few weeks, so this break will help me rest and get in gear for it.
Like I stated in my title, my family and I are just taking things day by day. Another thing last week taught me was to just enjoy life. I reallys need to stop rushing from one thing to another. Hopefully I can learn to slow down and appreciate all that I have and those that I love the most.
