Love, Love Summertime!!

Well, I know that my "blogging" days have been a little lagging these past few weeks. It's not that nothing has been going on, it's more like EVERYTHING has been going on and I am squeezing every last drop out of summer that I possibly can.
Sweetie and I just got back from a 3 day anniversary trip over to one of our favorite, relaxing spots by Calistoga and basked in the sun and warm mineral springs. It both invigorates me and relaxes me at the same time and I find myself thinking once again how richly blessed I am to have a best friend, soulmate and life partner to share everything with. We love to be together, doing whatever in life and after 28 years of marriage, I find it hard to believe sometimes, that I still feel so in love with my husband.
In the last couple of weeks, there have been several awesome river trips with friends, biking adventures that I love, going to Sac. numerous times to visit my precious friend, Sandy, who is still in U.C. Davis. Seeing her these past couple of weeks has REALLY hit home to me, the fact that, if we have our health, we really, really do have all the riches that we need. I absolutely HATE to see suffering and especially to someone I care alot about.
So, once again, I linger with the thoughts that this life is filled with much joy and pleasure but also with alot of pain and hardship................................................
