Wow!!!

How does a week go by so fast?????

I am just hanging in there and keeping on keeping on.

Am trying to figure out what to do with myself in these next coming months. Don't have any answers yet, but am keeping it in mind.

We had a nice wkend. Seemed to fly by! My sister Mari, and her family, husband Derek and kiddies Cole and Brooke came up for the day Sat. How fast it went by!!! We went to see Cirque Siana and it was awesome. I really liked it a lot and I want to go to circus school hehehehe :) Makayla loved it and P was enthralled for the first 20 minutes but then a little bored and distracted. It was great to see Mari et al. Next time, hope we'll get to do more as I forgot all of the things on the list.

The big hit of the day was Cole's airplane book. The kids - and me! - all loved the airplanes even the baby was trying to fly them. It was so precious!

Everyone seems to be on the mend here and in good spirits. My gosh, what a difference that makes in my mood and my day. Incredible.

I am going out with Bern to a girls thing on Sat, hoping to get to Secret speaker on Fri, and scrapping on Sun, and last night went out to Celtic Corner. So, I feel lucky and busy. Celtic Corner is an Irish pub in Dartmouth. It isn't fancy, but I like it and the food was absolutely phenomenal!!

We are getting Makayla's dress made so that is off my list.

She is joining summer soccer and I signed her and P up for gymnastics and Makayla up for a skipping class. Starting in April. It is only for 9 weeks, so not too big a commitment, and I think they'll like it.

I can't think of what else is new. I have lots of food for thought. Have been reading about The Secret. I missed the Oprah show, but it seems to put me in mind of the Celestine Prophecy. I loved that book and all it had to offer. And what really sold them for me too was the workbooks. I get so filled with "fluff" I don't have any time for self-reflection or growth and I am missing that. Anyway, timing seems right for me to get involved with myself again and do some thinking and some action. I find it easy to focus on the "I'm too .." or "I don't have enough .." or "I want .." and while I really do appreciate my life and blessings, I coudl spend more time doiing so and I'd be happier for it.

I am officially in geocaching withdrawl now and am really going to try to get out soon. Oh yeah, and am going to a free movie with Bern tonight too!!! Yee haw. will be happy to get out and spend some time together. Like she said, Making up for lost time the last couple of weeks :)

HOpe you are all taking good care and try to think of something you are really thankful for today.

xoxo

Great that you got out and it sounds like you've got a great weekend planned! Have fun.

Good that you're getting the dress made. That was one stress you could do without :)

I'm with ya on counting the blessings I/we do have. We really are fortunate...there are so many in this world that are starving, homeless, ill etc. We're lucky and have to try to remember that.
