Where is the summer going?

It is going by soooooooooo fast! Even the days go by in a blink of an eye. And I am not the only one commenting on this fact! I feel like somethings going on! Weird! And lately, it seems a lot of others negativity and crabbiness is wearing off on me, and I am NOT liking it! I am fighting it tooth and nail it seems, the last couple of days...

I think I am winning.

I hope.

It's called prayer, perserverance, and a little gin and tonic.

Just kidding.

A little!

Anyway...

I guess I am just a little down because lately it seems some people are spitting to the wind at the blessings in their life...like they're slapping them right in the face and saying, " Ha, ha!"
I mean, there are some that I know that should be down right grateful, thankful...praising God for what he's done for them, and it hasn't even been a thought.

Tom and I were talking the other night about how "dirt poor" we feel, but how blissfully happy we are at this stage of life with our kids and how we seem to get through everything with barely a whimper of anger. Pretty amazing...and I am so thankful that Tom and I communicate. Communicate respectfully, lovingly and with eachother's needs in mind, not necessarily our own.

I thank God a lot for him.

And not that we are perfect! Like today, I kept thinking..."He is going to help me sometime today with the kids, right??!!"

But then somedays I am so grateful for his help. You just never know what each day brings, it's struggles, it's surprises, it's blessings.

One thing I try to remember is that EACH day IS a Blessing. And that through Jesus, I am truly blessed with his saving Grace and Eternal Love!

Sometimes isn't it simply amazing what the power of a positive attitude can do for your life. At times I feel downright annoying at how positive I "play"...but without hope, what is there?! Life is beautiful. Even the ugly days. It's a blessing...glad to hear another like soul!!!!

Your email question intrigued me to my core...if you ever want...SHARE!!!

There are two kinds of people: Part Two - The non-movers

Coffee cup in one hand, veggie/fruit smoothie in the other. No seriously, that's what I have on each side of me as I write. I'm smiling because of how funny this is, as it seems to also relate to this conundrum of a topic before us. There are two kinds of people, and there are definitely two kinds of beverages.  My caffeinated beverage on my left brings me a one sided joy that I cannot even begin to detail. I love my coffee. And I really do think it loves me back. At least for a while. As I peer out of the corner of my eye to the right, I see the greenish grainy drink to my right. Today the fennel seeds in it do not make it seem as dirty  I mean, like I just gathered them from the dirt without rinsing and sprinkled them in there kind of dirty. Maybe it was the splash of OJ I decided to add to it this morning. Now, I know that this drink loves me. It is good for many aspects of my life. Health, energy, sustenance, power. But I do not enjoy it as much. When I make my ...

There are two kinds of people: Part One

This topic has been on my mind for quite a few years, and I always tell my ultra hip (yeah right) self, that I should write about it. So finally, after this last revelation that, yes, there are two kinds of people in this world, I needed to get it off my chest. There are two kinds of people in this world. "But Megan?" you quickly rebut, "No there's not! There are so many kinds of people in this world. Short people, tall people, loud people, introverted people, French people, people who like food, people who are allergic to grass, dog people, cat people, this list is endless." And to you I say, "Well of course." But  here's the deal. When it comes down to it. We are all, but one of two kinds of people. And I'll kindly, yet firmly, break it down for y'all. There are two kinds of people in this world. And you WILL fall under one of these categories. Are you ready? Here, I'll set the scene. You are walking down the sidewalk....

A picture, a moment.

My husband and I went to Mexico last February. This was our last night there. Or was it? We had not gone on a vacation in 10 years! This photo is unique and amazing in so many ways. I had gotten a new camera, and all vacation, I would mess around with new settings. What time of day was this? Looks like a sunset right? It's not! It was a sunrise! I  had some strange setting, that I have not been able to replicate. But it made this look like our last night there, but it was our last morning. I awoke early so I could be on the beach when the sun came up.If I could keep a memory that included sense of smell, feeling, sound, and sight, it would be this, wrapped with a bow. I was the only one out there in the early hours, which was amazing in and of itself. I took a lot of other shots by the water, and a little while later when I was heading back, I turned around, and took a shot off the upper patio of the resort. And this is what I got. It is my favorite picture...
