Sat. Morning Thoughts.

The house is still.

Not a normal state here.

My big girls are off to love on Church campers and to be honest

they will be filled themselves by doing just this.

Todd is gone with Levi on his Sat. morning lawn 

mowing job and Bekah tagged along with them.

This leaves me here with Ginger, our small dog:)

Soon there will be machines and shovels hard at work in my backyard.

Soon the washer will start up again but at this moment my home is still.

Stillness gives me time to think of how blessed I am.

How My big girls have grown into such beautiful Christian minded young ladies.

How my son is growing into a Young man and gaining that all precious treasure

of Godly responsibility.  How my baby is not a baby and is showing such a special

blend of all of her siblings:) 

I have this moment to think, although I'm always thinking of him, of my

best friend and love of my life.

How blessed I am to have such an awesome husband like him:)

As I sit here today, I think of sweet joy.

No doubt that we have had our share of sadness.  

Our share of ugliness our way.

But 

 I choose to look at the joy.

and

Learn from the ugly.

They're both there...it is just a matter of how I choose to live my life.

I have things that I could spend a life time lost in sadness in.

People do this.

A lifetime blaming their past for their present mistakes.

Why?

My take on that is this...

You made the mess in your own panties...you clean yourself up!

I know that sounds bad but it gets the point across right?

Well, I didn't plan on going on like that:)

Sometimes it just comes out, lol!

This morning I don't have the time to write about all the thoughts swirling 

around my crazy head of mine.

So you got the smorgasbord~to bad for you...hehe!

UNWIND:

Listen, your unwind comes when and if you take ownership of your own mistakes.  We all make them some are bigger then others...some have bigger consequences than others...some can have happy endings and some not...but we all will be able to unwind and sleep a little easier at night if we own up and then....choose JOY.
