Happy...la la la...

Starting to experiment a little with this whole blog-site stuff. Boy do I feel challenged at all the little things that people do with their blogs...making mine pink was a big step for me. Obviously I will not be up for any Bill Gates type awards in the near future.

I have read more by young moms (which is actually how I came up with the name for my site...)
All the time that you have with your little ones will go by so fast...you can't keep up. For those that don't have little ones...the time you have with those you love will be fleeting. While it may seem that we sit at our desks for 40 hours a week, or clean up those kitchen counters endlessly...it is only a blink of a moment in time. Hang on tight!!!

Hunter came home from worship team practice last night bouncing off the walls. Things went well for the team as well as with his piano lesson (said he thought he actually impressed his teacher) and duet practice for Fine Arts apparently went great too (sure helps that his partner is a gorgeous blonde babe)!! I got such joy from watching him be a happy 13 year old boy! How often do you hear those words? The Lord has touched him so much that occasionally he will say out of the blue. "I am just happy". Wow!! No moody, sullen, head-down, mumble under your breathe teen-age attitude with him...ever! I am blessed--and I claim it now!! Ever since he was small whenever he was especially happy and would talk at a zero-to-sixty-in-5-rate of speed, he would go on and on...then look at us (since we hadn't gotten a word in edge-wise) and say, "do I need to be quiet now?" FYI--he always loses the quiet game!!!

I realize that I need to be happy...just because. No, I can't fit into a smaller size of jean. No, I can't hop into a nice new SUV and go for a spin. No, I don't have a trip to a tropical paradise planned anytime in the near future. But I still have my family and I have the blessings of the Lord upon me--so there--just because.
