End Of School Excitement!

So, there is often this feeling at the end of the school year that real life is about to begin!  And it is true, I haven't written on this blog since the new year.  That is due in part to many factors, the least of which is I don't think anyone reads this so what is the point of writing in it.  Wellllllllllll, regardless I like this little space.  And I feel like I should cultivate it a bit.  And it is due for a face lift and perhaps a remodel.  I have a few ideas and I might be moving to a new space so I will keep all 3 of you in the loop.  Have a wonderful rest of May!

2013

Happy New Year!
Although I started off the year with thinking "isn't this an unlucky number?" I know this is going to be an amazing year!  Brook immediately squashed my negativity and reminded me that 13 is actually a very lucky number, and it was going to be an great year, just like my fortune cookie said.  It also said a gift would  be coming in the mail, which actually happened so I believe!  I always think of the year in a round.  January is on the top of that circle, and the summer hanging out on the bottom.  This is just how my brain works and really makes no sense so I think of an upward spiral.  It keeps going onward and upward in an awesome arching motion.  SO, here's to another wonderful circular round of amazing-ness that is my life.  Busy, wonderful and a struggle, at times.  But isn't that what its all about?  We struggle to know that we are alive, and then we look back and see that we have climbed to the top of a particular mountain.  And the view is divine. And as we look forward in the distance we see even higher mountains.  So let's lace up our boots for the climb and enjoy the view as we go.

Life goes on...

and the sun still shines and sets in the evening regardless of outcomes of elections, or dismal days at school, or bad news or really happy moments.  I am so grateful that I can take a moment, step outside and breathe...it always grounds me and reminds me that right now, I am alive and well.  We all need moments like that in the hurried craziness of our days.  Like right now...perfect moments consist of jammies, and the couch and two girls and a movie.  I can't make this last, but I can enjoy it. xo

Anyone else feel like this?

I love Fall! But this year, my lovely season of colored leaves and crisp temps has been soured by the presidential campaign. Sorry people, I'm just not feeling it. You had me at hello, and then lost me after 1 1/2 years of bickering and 6 billion dollars of spending. It is truly sickening...what could our country do with 6 BILLION DOLLARS! But really? Enough already. Rant over.
I absolutely love this time of year.......fall!  but this year the wind in my sails has been deflated just a bit by the presidential campaign.  Enough Already!!!  Anyone else feel like this?Enough Already
