todayanother busy-overwhelming-never-enough-time-kind of day
want to be: reading, just reading
blessings: for doctors and my girls' health
thinking: i'm not going to post this before midnight 
planning: minute-to-minute  
writing: because i just need to and need to stay connected 
loving: that my hubby took my other sick daughter to the doctor today and cleaned the house 
grateful: for my family and that my mom is texting now

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

An Interview with Educator/Momma/Writer Ruth Ayres Celebrating #EnticingWriters + Giveaway!
