Goals...

All of my children are older ( youngest being 19 1/2) and for the last month or so the two that still live with me have been talking about short and long range goals of moving on their own. It's a natural pregression of life but it feels weird and awesome at the same time. I'm so happy that they feel that their life is ready for that step in the future. Right now it's only in the planning and thinking stage but it's there and my mind has to wrap around the thought that it will all be different one day. Life moves on...

Organized...

The past four days have been like a marathon, and it got me to thinking... boy I'm glad I'm such an organized person. I don't even want to think about what they would have been like without some planning of meals, fitting things into a tight schedule, keeping on target to make everything run smooth. Whew... tired just thinking about all that fit into those few days.  So as handy as being organized can be, I also know it has kept me from being more spontaneous and free in the present moment. Something to work on in the new year.

Live...

" The past is gone, and we cannot get it back.

We can only live in the present moment"

This is where my focus is today ~ the present moment! I am baking, cooking, cleaning, planning, sharing, and " all is well."
