"When we had our children, our ideas changed somewhat. Thenceforward we lived only for them; they made all our happiness and we would never have found it save in them. In fact, nothing any longer cost us anything; the world was no longer a burden to us. As for me, my children were my great compensation, so that I wished to have many in order to bring them up for Heaven" -- Saint Zelie Martin, mother of St. Therese of Lisieux, canonized October 18, 2015 along with her husband St. Louis Martin.

Back to the land of the living

I could be speaking too soon, but I think we've made it through flu week.  I woke up this morning and felt...better.  No one else seemed to have that "look" that leads a mother to keep the child very still, and next to a large bucket. We ate breakfast, went to morning Mass, and got bagels. It's our Saturday routine. And it felt like heaven!
This afternoon a few neighborhood friends came over and the boys played outside and the girls played inside. I made hot chocolate for them. We plan on watching the game tonight (Go Pack Go!).
Sickness makes you realize how wonderful an "ordinary" day is.  Alleluia!
