Realizing Things

It's late.  I really should be in bed resting these very tired eyes and hands that have been using a computer mouse and keyboard in excess for over a week now.  

But I'm not.  I'm rebelling! 

I miss my blog and writing.  I didn't think I'd miss it that much, but I do.  I miss sharing my thoughts, our farm escapades, and yummy recipes!  Oh yes, there have been a few posts, but not as many as I would like.

So I am just going to stay up and write.. if I write something off the wall or silly, just let me have my moment of bliss! :)  Perhaps I can take a nap tomorrow!

Things I have realized in the past couple weeks.......

• I'm lucky, for many reasons, but one is that my husband has no issue with sharing in household responsibilities. He honestly doesn't feel "less of a man" and states it makes him a better husband.  I must agree with him on both!
• I miss my music.  I'm not 18, I can't study and listen to music at the same time.
• I haven't missed TV really at all.
• Laughing is a pleasure I would like to have more often. (Mental note- work on that!)
• Friends and family that have stepped up to aide us recently, it's much appreciated.
• My brain is wired pretty directly to my heart I think.... for that reason... I think too much which creates over-reaction.
• My sweet little girl's smile, it something I appreciate even more now.

• Spending time with God daily has kept the unraveling from occurring I just know it!
• When you are told something and a smile can not be removed from your face because your heart is so full of joy for them, it's amazing!
• In fact, go back to that moment, and be selfish... that smile is worth alittle selfishness!
• Chickens survive if a day goes by and you forgot to check them.  
• Just when you think you are unsure, someone or something is dropped into your lap, letting you know it's ok to move forward.
• Taking a break, it's needed sometimes to replenish.
• That although times seem alittle hard for me right now, there are people dealing with harder things than I am. Pray for them first.
• Vacation will still occur, although it's not completely planned out or started packing a week in advance! They have stores in California!
• This is hard.  But this too shall pass.

Take a moment and just sit calmly.  Look back at the happenings in your life already (even though it's only almost Tuesday). 

What's on your list that would surprise you?
