Hallelujah

Music does not play in my head to accompany my life, I look for the music to put there... 

Every song I listen to makes me think of you.
The places you have been left their mark on my mind

Thinking of traveling with you makes me smile
Things we have said make me laugh

I enjoy the thought of exploring life with you
I want to see what you see, with my eyes

I bide my time waiting for life to intertwine
I pray the wait is short and sweet

But I would wait for you on the edge of forever
Knowing everything will be all right.

Absentee Ballot

I have not been on in a while, very bad of me. Not that I heard any complaints, but I did say I was doing this for myself.

I have been a very busy human the last 12 days. My eldest child, who was 10 days past her due date, had her son on the 10th, after 28 hours of labor at the hospital. Everything went very well, with minimal stress to Momma and Baby, and little Jonathan is so precious. I was part of the birth team but I also got to leave and sleep in my own bed a couple of times, which was probably a life saver.

I have been getting to know my newborn grandson, having his mommy visit, hanging out with my middle grandson (his big brother), helping my eldest son get to a from work occasionally, spending time with his two children.

Then a myriad of errands with my husband, everything from replacing his stolen phone to picking up socks before he left on his bowling trip.

Then I allowed for errands I needed to do.....whew I'm getting tired again from typing and reading it all.

I am not complaining, just busy. I feel a lot more like I did before I stopped working. Productive, cheerful and checking things off my to-do-list. Not too bad of a feeling.

I will try to make an effort to write a bit more in the coming days. My husband is out of town and I get all sleep deprived when I am alone at night. I might even come up with a couple of crazy ideas and put them to pen, as it were.

...have you heard the one about the alien abduction?

WHEW! Life can be so overstimulating. How? Waiting for daughters to go into labor, visiting with grand-kids, visiting with friends, getting ready for holidays and birthdays, dishwasher pipes clogged with artichoke trimmings, breaking snow records, watching Spring fly into action, cats and dogs living together and shopping at the grocery store!

But I, armed with my savvy internet knowledge, favorite stones from Kenai, my quartz crystal and some nice meditation music have broken through the mental fog. It was dicey for a bit, but now that my weekend has been rolling right along, I just may turn off the "fasten your seat-belts" sign.

I hope the holiday and season treat ya well, but always remember to treat yourself better.
