This little corner seems to have been recently neglected. Not intentionally mind you.
Life just came steamrolling in. The hours turned into days and the days turned into weeks before I even realized the speed at which time was truly passing. The few moments I did have were absorbed by family and other activities.
If you've noticed a draft or slight breeze the last few days headed in the direction of the Pacific NW, it was probably the effects of filling my lungs fully with air in the realization and relief that yet another busy season has come to an end.
The process of recent evaluations for my daughter is nearly complete. Soccer and track competitions have ended. School has drawn to a close. My son's 8th grade graduation and high school orientation are finished. We even threw in some home remodeling, cleaning and organizing in the middle of it all.
Yes, taking a few deep breaths indeed.
Today is my second morning of not having to wake and rush out the door. I could get used to this quite quickly! In fact, with the children sleeping a bit longer than usual, it has allowed for extra quiet time for me. Something I truly treasure and have not taken for granted these last couple of mornings.
For those of you still here, thank you for being patient and hanging around while I focused my full attention on matters and people here at home.
I can't say that I regret one minute of it, but I can say that I have missed our chats in the meantime.
Planning and hoping for moments to settle back here once again.
Would love to hear what's been happening with you.
Hey friend~
ReplyDeleteSome how...I seemed to have lost you for a time...but I found your site last night! Yeah me.
Enjoy this slower pace..season of life. It's so good..to not have to get up..and rush out the door with the kiddos. Even though I work, I'm finding mornings are a lot slower...and quieter..now that school is out.
Have a BLESSED day my friend.
Kim~
p.s. I'm a follower now..so I won't lose you again! lol
We seem to be on the same course again... I'm itching to get back but keep finding the "urgent" in front of me. Glad you hear all is well. Me, too. Aloha! *;)
ReplyDeleteLife has been busy around here too! I find myself thinking about blogging then saying no because I need to rest instead! I'm still here!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm still here... if you're still here. :) Missing connecting with you, but I completely understand the hectic life. Hope you can enjoy a much slower pace for a while... Hugs.
ReplyDeleteI've been wondering where you were. I'm glad that you've been enjoying the busyness of family life. Glad that you can sit and relax and enjoy the summer.
ReplyDeleteThese phases happen, and it's great to know you're enjoying life even if it is hectic. :) Ain't God good?

I've noticed it's been quiet in this corner... but glad you are back after such a full schedule (and some uncheduled things too!)
ReplyDeleteAs you can tell by my late comment, it's been a wee bit busy on my end too. I'm down to a post or two a week. Sheesh. But life is what it is and I must live life in order to blog not the other way around! Enjoy your breather and your summer. And whenever you have a moment to post I'll be around when I can with my coffee! :v)

ReplyDeleteWe have been about in the same place....busy...except ours has flowed into summer with a total of 5-6 soccer tournaments between our two girls, a youth fundraiser that lasts a week and takes a lot out of us, and a youth conference. Between those, trying to get my garden in, make some freezer jam and slice berries...sheesh! Enjoying the PNW weather this week.
