1. Easter weekend began with a very frustrating day on Saturday…

2. Took our schnauzer, Pepper, to the Vet where she was diagnosed with diabetes…

3. She had to stay overnight at the animal hospital…

4. While we were at the animal hospital for several hours, we received a call that my sister had fallen…

5. We took her to the ER at the hospital where we stayed for 4 hours…then we were able to take her home…

6. Stressed and exhausted (above is a long story made very short) I thought about We Love Gratitude and decided to be grateful for many blessings, among them our own wellness and ability to help where needed…I knew everything would be good!

7. Easter Day dawned as beautiful, sunny and warm!!!

8. Woke early and prepared our home for Easter dinner and festivities for eleven of us.

9. Took time out to get Pepper and bring her home…she’s well and peppy as always!

10. My sister is home and improving with mobility getting better each day!

11. Our family members arrived and we had an especially great and fun day that brought joy to our hearts!!!

12. Have faith…feel gratitude…those rainy days become sunny again! :)
