I've been trying to convince myself, that although I created a blog in order to chronicle my life, I don't owe it anything. It is easy for me to feel indebted to post and keep up with my news. But so often I just wish my thoughts would translate into cyber space in case I or anyone else wanted to pick up and read the threads, because, truth be told, I just don't have very many moments alone to peck away at my keyboard and formulate thoughts worth reading.
The hurry scurry of life must slow down soon, right? And then I'll have more time to write, more time to pray, more time to ponder . . . Much as I hate to say goodbye to the warm sultry days of summer, there is a certain cozy loveliness that comes with cooler temperatures and the hope of snow for Christmas as I'm reminded almost daily by my children to pray for snow.
I'm excited about the children's progress in their preschool books. I love to see things make sense to them, and their eagerness to do "one more page please?" So far Louie and Laura are working at the same pace. We'll see how long that lasts. I've noticed strengths and weaknesses in them both. They may help each other out. Dylan climbs the stool behind Louie, peering eagerly over his shoulder, wondering at all the amazing things on the table, as he chews a crayon and tears up an old magazine. I like to see his interest.
I'm enjoying the routine of a play date once a week. Although it takes effort to get the children out of the house every Tuesday morning, it is worth their enjoyment as it has become a highlight of the week. I enjoy the conversation I get with the other moms and how it provides a relaxed way to play with our children while sipping coffee!
More posts to come soon. I'll be talking about "How to live full in small spaces", next. Stay tuned!
