Favorite Things

Life is very busy and full at our house. Both boys are playing football and I am still adjusting to my new job. I enjoy the new job, but it is coming with more demands on my time. I have lost two hours a day alone at home compared to last year and that is huge! Also, some of my time at home is now spent on things for work. As the year/s go on my time spent at home for things for work should lessen. That's just how it is at the beginning of a job. Soooooo, life often feels like a whirlwind and I do NOT like that feeling. I need to be able to live in the whirlwind without having my outlook consumed by it. Make sense? It's all about how you look at things! I continue to try to savor the small things. Small things that are really big things. Been thinking about that song that Julie Andrews sings in The Sound of Music...."These are a few of my favorite things" You know....snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes, silver white winters that melt into spring, these are a few of my favorite things....etc. etc. On my list of favorite things is a full moon. Just look....

....isn't that GORGEOUS!!! I LOVE it! I stopped and took this picture with Jacob on the way home the other night. Jacob texted Tom, "Dad, sorry to have to tell you this, but mom is in love with the moon!" lol!

That moon is indeed one of my favorite things! Making an effort to let my mind slow down and savor my surroundings and appreciate my countless blessings! Getting ready to head to school and savor many other "favorite things"....a big one being those sweet innocent faces whose smiles will be happily greeting me!

Happy Thursday!
