Take each day as it comes and savor it for all it's worth, especially enjoy your time with the girls - it goes by way too quickly.

Whether you look back or ahead it is your choice of colors in which you see it that makes a difference. Your "yet" and "but" are good examples on how attitude tilts the balance. The length of time is also dependent on perspective. One month until school seems like a short time. Two weeks away from SOl community seemed like a long time. I missed reading and writing. I wish I had been here to give you support when you needed it. <br />TerjeTerje https://www.blogger.com/profile/13569210226711674834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220390520594776250.post-11454956855856693772012-07-17T10:06:40.092-05:002012-07-17T10:06:40.092-05:00Amazing - I love the way it shifted from related t...Amazing - I love the way it shifted from related to the frantic feeling of summer going so quickly to the half full perspective. I want to keep this in mind throughout the rest of the summer and as I start the school year. Really that goes along with my OLW for the year, gratitude. Thank you for giving a nudge to remind myself for what I am able to do in the summer, rather than worrying about what I am not able to do. I go back to work on August 16th, right around the corner :)Amanda Villagómezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02119297811490732509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220390520594776250.post-80042748602785861402012-07-17T09:58:10.916-05:002012-07-17T09:58:10.916-05:00Glass is half full...most would see summer half go...Glass is half full...most would see summer half gone.
