Today was just one of those days that you need to write about.
This morning started out with me sleeping in until 7 am. Yes, you heard me right. I slept in until 7 am! I had the privilege of taking my kids to school. Then I came home and got ready to head to town. I got my hair done, which always makes me feel fantastic. After that I had some time to fool around, so I walked around downtown Lock Have for a little while. I rarely get to see downtown any more.
It's nice to stroll along the streets and see the changes happening. After that I went to work and the day was pretty nice. My schedule was light, so I got a chance to work in the clinic today. I rarely get that opportunity and it was nice to go back to basics. After work I drove home. The drive is beautiful There is always something new and gorgeous to see on the Renovo road. God was in a really good mood when this area was created.
When I got home, I actually had a nice conversation with my son. We had a talk about things that were going on at school. Then we went for a bike ride. Just the two of us. It was so nice to just catch up with him. It seems my life is so busy that I don't have time to just sit down and spend five minutes with him. When we got home from the ride, we hung out in the yard by the fire and made the first round of s'mores for the season. A relaxing evening with my family is just what I needed. They are so few and far between that I cherish them. I hope I can enjoy another on soon.
God has given me so many blessing and I feel as if I don't get to appreciating them as much as I should. I need to take time to give thanks for those blessings. I want to make this summer about building better relationships with all six of my kids. I want to get to know them better, find out what things interest them now. I want to sit back, relax, and thank God for my blessings.
For Doug, Gabe, Rebekah. Jennifer. Shawn, Conner and Megan. I love you all
