Dear Friends,
It's Monday and my "to do" list is a mile long....I know it's bad when I have to type the list and print it out (and I hate taking the time to do that...). I usually keep a spiral book that I note everything into day to day...Anyhow, the weather has been fabulous here. This last week came with lots of changes all at once: the weather, the tragic news, my mom (whom I take care of daily) left for the summer (just getting used to this alone in my daily schedule has left me confused..I woke up this morning thinking I had to pick up her prescriptions, and then I was like, "oh"). It's been like that all week for me. Not quite in my groove. My mind is on the families and the students and teachers we lost last week. It forces me to think...how am I spending my time? Life is short as it is, and can be cut short before we know it...am I spending the hours, moments, seconds the way I should, could, want to, need to? I don't know. With the weather changing I've been out and about so much more, indoors and online so much less. It's time to think. Think of the next step. Where am I going? I know that my family is and remains the most important part of my life. But, this week, I was squeezing them harder, looking them in the eye more when they spoke and really listening...really. So, this is what is going through my mind as I go about my business, the business of every day life: cleaning, cooking, driving, etc. Where am I going? That is the question I need to answer this week. Thanks for listening friends. xo L.
