Life goes easy on me...

{most of the time}

It's nap time in our household. Judah sleeps in his and Elsie's room, Marlene in her room, and Elsie rests on the couch in the den/less-formal-living-room (she usually does not sleep). Elsie has gotten into the bad habit of "needing" to use the bathroom at least 15 times during this hour or so. She has also gotten in the bad habit of being scared of going through the house by herself. On her second trip to the bathroom today, she got to the kitchen, turned around, and said "Mom, are you sure angels are guarding me?" Hehe :) Of course I said yes.

Listening to The Cranberries right now... more specifically, "Dreams." I will always love this song. So nostalgic. (YUM-- just dipped a frozen multigrain cranberry-orange scone into reheated coffee... delicious! Thanks, Leah ;)) Why is there such a feeling as nostalgia? It's so odd. Life is so odd. I've been thinking about that a lot lately. Where life takes you, the changes, the twists and turns. Things happen that would never be expected. There's times in my life, several times actually, that I can think back on and wonder "Was that really me?" It's like it was literally a different life. Is there a reason behind everything? A purpose? I believe there's a "big-picture" purpose behind most things, but the little changes here and there-- I feel like they just happen. No rhyme or reason. [btw, eight o'clock is good, but I need more klatch!]

Things to remember:
Be quick to listen,
Slow to speak,
Slow to become angry.

Today is good.

hahaha, anna, the shoes. gorgeous:)... and yea, life has a funny way of being made up of segmented parts. It's nice to have some of those parts overlap though, you know. for example, i'm so glad we've been friends for so long..in so many different settings too. bah ha. :).
