Keeping Life in Motion

December 13 – Action When it comes to aspirations, it’s not about ideas. It’s about making ideas happen. What’s your next step? (Author: Scott Belsky)

This prompt is kind of bittersweet in my household today.  I'm an action person.  I think of ideas, and I put a plan in  place to carry them out.  But today I feel like I need to take a step back, keep  my mouth closed, and just be there for Kevin and his family.  Some of you may know that Kevin's Aunt Pat has been sick for a little over a year and finally after a good long, fight she passed away last night.  Aunt Pat was an Action Lady herself!  She always had a plan, told the family what the plan was and held everyone together to carry the plan out.  Having been in Kevin's family for 4 years, I can't imagine how painful this is for those who got to spend a lifetime with Aunt Pat.  She was a beautiful lady that I feel lucky to have had in my life. It's never easy to lose a loved one, and it is especially difficult with the Christmas holiday right around the corner.  So my next step for now is going to just be to be there for Kevin and our family. 

This is  kind of a  side track from the prompt, but it's really weird how life happens.  A year ago this time Kevin and I were planning for a child, then that plan was put on hold.  We were planning a trip to CA for the holidays this year, but we decided it was best to stay here in the event that something did happen to Aunt Pat.  I am at peace with how it's all ended up, I wouldn't imagine it any other way.  I know Aunt Pat is at peace too and she will continue to steer us all in the right direction when it comes to plans!
