writing: because i just need to and need to stay connected

grateful: for my family and that my mom is texting now
and today {again}: i need to remind myself to breathe.  just breathe.

    This is a nice rubric for an SOL, I'll have to remember it when I'm running late with my posts. Love the part about the hubby, they are grand aren't they!

    I agree. This could have just as easily been: worrying, grumbling, sick and tired of... I can tell you're a glass is half full kind of girl even in the face of two sick kids.

    I was wondering where you were. So sorry you've got sick kids, again. I hope everyone is well soon and the pace of life will slow down for you.

    So much to juggle...and you do it with such grace and acceptance of a basic truth- you are blessed. Yes, just breathe...
