Ok, that’s it. I officially surrender. I have given up all hope that this would be a productive summer. I’ve tried, time and time again, to get me and the kids on a regular schedule the past couple of months and failed miserably. There are just not enough hours in the day to get all that I need to want to accomplished. And even if there were, I’m usually too pooped by the end of the day to even concentrate on the task at hand. Sooooo…I’ve decided rather than devote my energy to fight it, I’m just going with it. I have a few sessions I need to edit, some orders needing to be placed and a major project that has been sitting on the backburner for about 8 months now. But I know that will all get done…in it’s own time. And I’m shifting my attention these last few sweet days of summer to my little ones…who are growing up faster than I can believe.
I just got back from a phenomenal two-day workshop in Utah (more on that to come later…), and when I returned home I was welcomed by my loving husband and two sweet smiling faces, each bearing gifts for mommy to show they were thinking of me while I was gone. My heart just melted. I cannot tell you how incredibly loved I felt at that moment. Indescribable, unconditional, and whole-heartedly. My son has truly “grown-up” right before my eyes the past few weeks, and my eyes filled with tears as he sang the song he wrote especially for me. He has such a loving, tender heart and continues to amaze me each day with how much he is just like his Daddy.
“You are more precious than rubies, gold, and silver
And the thing I need to say is I love you.
There is no need to worry, I have your hand.
I have your hand all of your life.”
And I am again reassured of what is most important in this life.
