today: i need to breathe

today: another busy-overwhelming-never-enough-time-except-to-create-piles kind of day
want to be: in quiet {by myself} reading, writing, or napping
blessings: health, happiness and my God who gives me grace
thinking: about my to-do list that multiplies with every completion
planning:  for relaxation {and catch up} over spring break in just two days 
writing: snippets of life for nineteen days and counting
loving:  my baby girls more and more each day that are growing up before my eyes 
grateful: for friends in my church small group and prayer

and today {again}: i need to remind myself to breathe.  just breathe.

    You always find a way to write, even when tired. I am glad you remembered to breathe. I believe you are so ready for the spring break. I hope that your Thursday and Friday go quickly.

    Sometimes is good to just stop and reflect on the NOW. Thanks for sharing and reminding me of that.

    I am reminded of the worship song...

    This is the air I breathe
    This is the air I breathe
    Your holy presence living in me

    This is my daily bread
    This is my daily bread
    Your very word spoken to me

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! I have twin four and a half -- almost five! -- year old daughters.  I try to be consciously aware of what I say and do in regards to my body image and self-esteem and also with their body image and self-esteem.

sols: a gift of words

Slice of Life  hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers . Join in and share a slice of your life. One of the best gifts I give myself is time to write Monday evenings for the Tuesday Slice of Life.  That writing time allows me the opportunity to think about the little moments in my life.  Sometimes those moments are big and important.  Other times it's a funny moment that made me laugh.  Or a celebration, a word, a poem about the ordinary life.  I'm still amazed that I have been writing each week for over three years! Yet, there is another gift . . . My mom and dad have published my writing.  Just this past Christmas, I received volume five of my blog writing.  Yes, I have five books f...
