July 29

I haven't blogged in a while because I've been unplugged a lot lately... in many ways.  We bought a trailer a few weeks ago and have spent almost half our time since in it.... relaxing!! Who knew that relaxing was so important. I am a serious TYPE A get things done and live to my full potential sort of character, so rest and relaxation don't often rate high on my list of priorities... but I do value fun and family. 

Looking at my 5 and almost 4 year year old children recently made me realize that those priorities needed to jump up higher on my list of things to do, and so the trailer entered our lives.  I have honestly had the two happiest moments that I can recall in recently history in the past two weeks.... Once I was just lying in bed and felt overwhelmingly happy... and then today, reading a book with my feet up on the deck.  Who knew? Who knew that the secret key that might unlock more of my happiness and love potential rested in some simple R&R? Maybe you did, but I sure didn't.... A little work to do tonight, and then 4 more days of fun.  Simple bliss... and more love and hugs from my kids in the past two weeks too.... Time will always be priceless.

I've heard people talk about love languages, and I don't know what they technically are... but I am convinced that mine is time.  I consider the time that people give to me a gift... and if I am giving you my time, then you can be sure that I you are being loved by me. I hope that my family feels awash in love for the next few days...

Oh, and I read something today in an ice cream shop in Huntsville - "YOGS".... May it inspire you. 
"You cannot buy happiness, but you can buy ice cream, and that is almost the same thing."
