“To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go” - Mary Oliver
Sorry I haven't been around more often. If you've read this blog for very long, you know I do that sometimes. When life gets busy and crazy I just have to focus on what's right in front of me. Which lately has been an impromptu upstairs bathroom redo and crazy busy soccer schedule. The garden continues to overflow and I am facing the task of putting up as much chard, spinach and herbs as I possibly can. And of course, there have been other things. Behind the scenes. Life has not been all rainbows around here. Although we've seen three rainbows in real life the past few weeks as the Spring storms roll through our area. I've been feeling a bit under the weather and there have been marriage challenges and parenting challenges and I have a fever blister the size of Texas on my lip. But if I've learned anything since beginning this blog, it is that I am stronger than I ever knew. I can do this. In the words of the Little Engine That Could... I think I can, I think I can, I think I can. |
