Summer Days

I’m sure going to miss my quiet time at the pool as the weather changes and I start working a new job while Stelly returns to school. There is something about the pool or being in water that brings me such peace and I can just forget about everything for a little bit.

I will definitely miss hanging out with my beautiful baby girl, and running over to my precious mama or handsome son for a hug and and other lackadaisical no make up no messing with my hair structureless kind of days.

But oh how I long for the crispy fall air and positive changes to come.🍁🍂🍁.

I am honored to be stepping into my dreams. How lovely to love and be loved; to pray and be prayed for; to watch Gods restoring hand move. How sacred to walk through the journey of another with them.

So….summer days…I know you are slowly saying goodbye. My drooping plants feel it too. I have treasured and will treasure you even as I enter the next season.

With gratitude, thanks for letting me walk in the sun.❤️☀️

The moment I am in

Dear Sis,

Let’s sum up today…

1) My heart is in the weirdest place. Trying to find contentment and value in the now. Like all of the now…not just the parts I enjoy.

2) I thought all week that I had school this weekend and assignments due but I have another entire week before that happens so…whew.

3) I’m baking a bakery full of cookies tonight if that tells you anything.

4) I shared the stories of what I remember of 9/11 with my kiddos. I told them that when it happened, John was a newborn, his dad was out of town working, and I called Nana and couldn’t stop crying b/c I wondered what kind of world I had brought a child into. Today, I pray that these two kiddos make an impact on their world and I am so thankful for them. Everyday, especially on days like today when we are reminded of the preciousness of life.

5) I turned in my graduation application today. What? What? Sooooo in awe!

6) Seasons are changing. Big time.

7) It is supposed to rain this weekend. This means I can write and write and write to my heart’s content…because, you know…rain.

8) Trying to understand why I’m not always in charge of the letting go/letting in process. As a matter of fact…why am I not always in charge?

9) Brains are a funny, magical thing. Actually, brains are funny and intriguing…kisses are magical.

10) My emotions are many tonight, my heart is full, and I’m simply grateful that I can and will process through all of it.

Go to bed sis.
