I DID IT!!!

I did it!  I honestly thought about how I would like to be typing right now!  AAAAHHH!!!  

But, please, do not be mistaken.  It was only a thought.  I, in no way, took part in any writing or spent any effort to try to attempt to act on this particular urge.  My informal disclaimer.

However, I will admit that more than a twinge of sadness comes over me each time I am at the computer and could possibly have the time to write and instead end up on Facebook or something along those lines.  

My sister Kristen who is an amazing person and mother has three boys as well that she also does an excellent job homeschooling is the one reason I still even consider writing, though she may never know.  Her honesty and love have given me so much encouragement and made me feel like I could do so much more.  She is my cheering section.

Did you get out and enjoy today?

Well, the weather here has been beautiful.  Warm sunlight cutting through the canopies of leaves beaming down on us as we lay on the grass and read our lessons for the day.  Glancing around at the faces of my sons as they laugh or giggle at some line or other in our reading.  My youngest picking the grass lazily and letting it fall gently to the ground through his fingers.  The other two laying back with their arms behind their heads stretched out and gazing up at the sky.  It doesn't get much better than this.  This is a very acceptable trade off for not writing.  These are the days you cherish and treasure.  This little bit of heaven in the midst of chaos and havoc.  

Question of the day- How do you relax and find normalcy?  What do you do to make the bleary, weary world that much better to face the next day?

Have a blessed night and take care, all!
