Sun....Sea...and Sails...

Today I had brunch with my three daughters and two of my grandchildren at The Sunflower Café in Galveston, Texas.  We were early enough that we missed the crowds and had a leisurely lunch.  I chose the spinach quiche with fruit plate.  ( I also indulged in a piece of coconut cream pie.)  I haven't had one of those in YEARS.  After lunch, we went to the Strand and then on to Murdoch's and sat on their porch for about thirty minutes.  I came home ready to nap and reflect on the day.

This was a mother's day present from Misty and Michael.  I was fortunate that Pam and Angie were able to meet us for lunch.  Then, Jay and Chasity met us on the Strand and we shopped for a few minutes.

When I look back, I can recall that our life together had some ups and downs.  It wasn't always peaceful and we didn't always like each other.  But the most mature decision, and the most profound, was the one I made when I decided we were a family.  For my part, I wasn't going anywhere.  We were in it together - sink or swim.

There were a few times I felt the water rising high!  But, God was faithful and the good times outweighed the tough ones.  I am tremendously blessed that our times truly were in His hands and He never left us to flounder.  (Psalm 31:15)

I loved today.  I enjoyed the scenery.  I am at peace!
