Great Days

Over the past year Brian has not really been able to help out around the house with a lot of things.  With Vincent attending school in CA I have been returning to my roots!  Gardening.... Or let's really put it in perspective and that would be skimming by. 
I am normally the one to mow the lawn, maintain the sprinkling system (of course with the help of our friend Chase) up keep the pool, weeds...... you get my point I am sure. 
This past Friday to my great surprise, Brian had gone out and tackled poop patrol.  Believe me, a task that I wouldn't even feel good paying someone to do.  It's just one of those things in the back of our heads that no one ever wants to do.  He had accomplished that.  And took a nap.  I was so incredibly grateful that he had enough energy to complete that horrible task. 
As Amanda and I were dusting we heard the lawn mower attack the back lawn.... Of course I was completely worried that Brian was pushing himself way too far.  How do you tell a grown man NO.  2 hours later (2100 sq. ft.) our lawn was in prestine condition.  He had even used the weed edger.  BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so thrilled I did not have to do it this week. 
For this....... I count my blessings.  I am grateful that we do have Great Days.  It's the simple things in life that make us happy.  That even his MS has progressed he still has more Great Days than not.
