Lucky this time around

It's super easy to take life for granted.
We wake up, move slowly or move quickly, but we're moving.
So often we just TAKE FOR GRANTED that we're moving at all.

We get up, go about our day and don't remember to give thanks for the opportunity to life the live we've been given. You'd think after a cancer experience like mine, I'd remember that ever day, but I lose track of it too. I get lost in the day to day things. Luckily this summer, I've got a lot of things planned to keep me busy and thankful!

Summer is a great time to relax and realize how good I've got it.
It's a time to indeed wake up slowly and take it all in.
But, it's also a time to pack in the fun things that are hard to do in the winter in Wisconsin or when school takes up most of my days.

This is what I've done so far this summer...
Just two weeks in and I've taken some time for resting and some time for fun!
I hope the same for you.

Slow down time. Massimo hug time. 

Play at the park time

I am brave enough for the big slide now, all on my own!

I'm so proud I can do it!

Trip to the Zoo to see the Buffalo in Madison after my Vision Therapy appointment.

I like the flamingos.

I wanted to be a lion and roar!

I enjoy the Henry Vilas Zoo.

Vision Therapy lesson involves crawling a little bit every day to reorganize my muscles in my eyes. 

Mom finally had time to look at all of my artwork from Kindergarten. 

We had a good Father's Day.

Another trip to the zoo, the Milwaukee County Zoo, this time, after my dentist appointment this week. I love the train rides!

I'm always going to be short, but I'm growing every day. 

I love to take train selfies!

Even Mom likes a ride on the train!



Here's hoping for more fun and more time to contemplate the good days.
Next week I start my equine therapy and sailing lessons. All good fun - but mom and dad know these things increase my core muscle strength and help me get strong enough to sit in a desk for long periods of time, like I'll need to do in first grade.

More pics soon. Have a great June!
