Why I called it the Greener Side!

My first long term hospital stay was last October. I have been in and out of the hospital several times since then. I would like to share my new life with some loyal readers. I got to spend my first Christmas alone ever in a hospital during a blizzard. I was in the hospital for a lupus rash that would not heal ( it was on the left side of my upper thigh-lower bottom). So I just tell everyone I was "left behind in 09". Lol! I love that I didn't know how near death I was until the worst was over. Thanks to my HERO, my Mommy!

Then, I had to scare my Aunt Karen half to death when I had a stroke at her house in January. I spent even more time in the hospital. So I have to tell you to be so close to death without knowing it and not remembering some of it, I have become more aware of how precious life is...and I want to share my lil' moments of life on The Greener Side, with you!!

This morning I woke up at 6:30 seeing life at it's best. I got to go camping with my baby sister and her lot. I was in the back of my truck (suv) where I slept and woke to the site of the sun just rising and shimmering off of the water. It was so peaceful and beautiful it was like I was in a trance. I couldn't wait for all of the kids to wake up and break it. Soon they did and they did it with a bang. They were feeding the entire southern hemisphere of geese it looked like. The boys were chasing the geese and the girls were squealing every time one got close. That is a memory I will cherish for a long time to come.

I hope I can entertain you with my thoughts and memories. I am off to church camp starting Monday, so stay tuned.........
