August 16, 2011- Thoughts

 

“If Peace was water, then I would swim all day long…”

- Girlie

 

How can you top that?

August 15, 2011- Simply Awesome

That was her answer to ‘how was your first day of school?’

She could be a poster child for positivity and for embracing the good in life.   She is full of joy and laughter and happiness.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;

I am so glad her day was ‘simply awesome’ and am so glad this little sunshine spends the rest of her days with me.

August 14, 2011- Back to School

I love back to school.   Not because I can’t wait to get my kids out of the house because really, that part of back to school I personally dislike.

I’m not one of those ‘counting down the days until summer is over’ kind of moms.  I genuinely enjoy being with my kids and having them here with me is typically my preference.

::::::::::::::::

It’s back to school now though and what I love is the organization of it.   Stacks of supplies, neatly labeled for delivery and fresh clean backpacks, lunchboxes and school clothes, waiting for wear.   Everything is in it’s place and ready to go.

From the anticipation in the air to the smell of the clean hallways and orderly spaces waiting in peaceful silence for little bodies to come into and fill with laughter and learning… it’s the beginning of a new season of life and I love the excitement of  it all.

August 12, 2011- Behind the Times!

The only thing worse than being behind the times is typing a post about it and losing the post you’re explaining your tardiness through. 

Yep.  That’s what happened.  

I typed this a few minutes ago and apparently made an error… it didn’t publish.

::::::::::::::::::::

I suppose the good thing is the post was about the busyness… the where in the world have I been except for not HERE for a couple of weeks.   

The busyness of the end of summer, of school starting for the kids, of travel and the preparing of one more  trip ahead…. it’s been days full of planning and packing and getting ready and going to and from…. and very little time for writing!

I’ve been doing my best to keep focused and to mentally keep track of what needs to be backlogged here, so bear with me.

Until then, here’s to forgiveness for forgetfulness, and the importance of positivity and peace, even in the most, or perhaps especially in the most demanding of times.

August 6, 2011- Priceless Moments

There are some things you can’t put a price on.

Some things are so rare, so precious, so wonderful …

Do you see this?  

Four generations apart.  

Her namesake.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Can you imagine sharing this kind of full on smiles, belly laughing, lemonade sharing, squeeze your cheeks kissing, best friends forever calling…. moments…. with your great grandmother?  Or great granddaughter for that matter?

Absolutely priceless and absolutely precious.

August 5, 2011 – Fathers and Daughters

Love this.

“And when she wraps her hand
around my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about” – James Slater

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I always knew he was amazing.   She had to take my word for it.    And he’s never let her down.

August 4, 2011- Curiosity and Wonder

DSC_0091“I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift should be curiosity.”  ~Eleanor Roosevelt

 

Keep questioning, my dear, and keep learning.  Stay interested and curious.   You are such a bright star and  I cannot wait to watch your destiny unfold.

July 30, 2011- Lazy Day

A Lazy day.

A stay in with your family day.

A cook soup all day, day.

A fix up around the house day.

A nap in the rainstorm day.

A fall asleep to a movie day.

:::::::::::::::::::

Once in a while… a lazy day is the most perfect of all days.
