Its been a long while since my last post and my life and taken a lot of twists and turns. It seems as though "life" gets in the way of the simple things sometimes, even when it is just blogging. I feel I get too busy with "stuff" to enjoy my life. So, I will vow to slow down and take things a little slower.
My son has started school, he is now in the 7th grade. It seems like just yesterday I was getting my little one ready for the first day of Kindergarten. Helping him brush his hair, and tie his shoes. I don't dare do that now! hahahahaha.. JonCollin has started football - which sometimes really scares me. This is his first year to play and he seems so unsure of himself. He is always so confident in every sport he plays. This will be a challenge for him and me I feel. I hope to not become one of "THOSE" moms - yelling from the sidelines about fairness... but I am sure I will. I love watching and cheering my son on in every aspect of his life. This is a simple thing I enjoy. I vow to savory each and every moment of it.
We have had a death in the family that has brought on some changes. As I watch all the events play out I am reminded to slow down, and enjoy the people in our lives. We seem to take people for granted that they will always be around, and we forget we are not in charge - for God has a greater purpose. The simple things in life seem to go un-noticed; the people who make you laugh when you are down, the friend that calls for no reason, your child who just walks up and gives you a big hug, your spouse telling you they love you at the end of each day. Nothing else really seems to matter more than the people in your life if you just take the time to enjoy them. I vow to make sure every person in my life knows what they mean to me. Because we are not promised tomorrow.
