My 5th Anniversary Roses from Mikeah, I'm back. We finally got a new computer and dsl hookup at home. I'm excited to begin posting again, yet a bit shy... I feel like I've forgotten how!
Instead of trying to catch you up on the past couple of months, I'm going to start fresh. I new goal of mine is to spend most of my time in the moment, with some allotted time for looking forward and a smaller amount of time for looking back. It's backwards from my traditional way of thinking which has always been relishing the past and anxious for the future. I need to begin enjoying THE NOW. It will be hard but worth the effort.
so... RIGH NOW, I am sitting at my computer, my children are nestled in their beds, exhausted from their day and my husband is lying on the couch channel-surfing. Yes, i am relishing our day - we spent most of it at our friend's house for a bbq cook-off between Mike and a co-worker. Mike smoked ribs and his competition, Phil, smoked brisket. Everyone ate too much, drank just enough and were able to enjoy the company while the kids spent their time running in their huge backyard and riding bikes & scooters in the driveway. Stephen - new at crawling just this week, practiced in the living room with the ladies oohing and aahing.
I'm thankful for the day and the time I have now to document it forever. I look forward to relaxing in bed and a fresh start to the new week. The holidays are approaching and there is so much to look forward to.
