Taking a Break

Thanks to Lil' Chris's Mom at A Cure for Lil Chris and Courtney at The Tale of Olivia's 65 Roses for this blog award:

It's for having a blog that "shows great attitude or gratitude". Truthfully, these days I'm having a difficult time with that. The internet is a double edged sword. On the one hand, I've found so much support and comfort in the CF community but on the other hand, some of the things I read are so sad that it's hard to stay hopeful. This week, for some reason, has been particularly hard because there has been news of several young, very young, people with CF who have lost their battle. I'm trying to stay strong for Seamus but it's very hard.

I've decided to take a couple days off from blogging and reading anything related to CF. I know there is a lot more to our life than this disease and I need to clear my head and think about those other things.

Thanks for the Award

Courtney, Tooter's Mommy has given me a blog award! I am to send it to my new blog friends, and they are to pass it along to their new blog friends. It should go to those who step outside their comfort zone, and make new bloggy friends.

I send it to:
Marcus at RT Student Blog who doesn't have CF or have a family member with CF but has quickly become a friend to many in the CF community. He is getting the word out and raising money for us all.

My mom at Donna and Terry's Adventures in Maryland who is definitely out of her comfort zone. She is not very tech-savvy but has jumped right into the blogging world. She's had a tough year and I'm very proud of her.

Thanks
