A New Season

After much prodding by peachprenni.blogspot.com and mizjuneytalks.blogspot.com, I am officially (trying) to post my first entry. I feel like I should write something inspiring! lol I am calling this first blog entry- SEASONS for many reasons. Well...look at that. I'm a rapper AND a blogger. Today is August 1st. The beginning of the month. Lots of kids and teachers (shout out to my sisters, Julie and Linda who are both teachers) will be going back to school. Some for the first time and even some for the last time. It is also Olympic Season. Love it! GO USA! I have an "Olympic Hangover" every morning from staying up until midnight to watch it all. My oldest son is moving into a new place in Charleston this month. Today actually. He has big plans for the house, the yard and I would imagine for himself, too. He is smart, a self motivator, ambitious, way stronger than he knows and crazy funny. I wish he could see himself through my eyes. Love him! My youngest son is starting his last semester of college and his last season of football this month. For 18 consecutive Falls he has played. That's a lot of Gatorades and orange slices. He is strong, loyal, hard working and a leader. Crazy about him. Nothing but love. Both of my kids have character traits that I admire and I am humbled to be their mom. **SIDEBAR** THIS BLOG WILL DEF CONTAIN SHAMELESS BRAGS ABOUT MY KIDS #dontbeahater The beginning of the month for my husband means new numbers to hit, lots of RFQ's to go through (I am not exactly sure what that is but it pays our bills), many, many, miles to be logged on Delta and even more minutes logged on his phone! He works incredibly long and hard for this family and I am grateful, grateful, grateful. For 26 years he has provided for us and NEVER complains about 5am flights. #superman Check his chest for a big "S", it's there. And for me, it's a new season, too. Lots of new things I am starting or getting back to. It holds lots of possibilities. It's very easy for me to get overwhelmed and think that I can't "do it all" or that I can't get to where I want to be. But, I am learning in this next season of my life as a mom, a wife and a woman, to stay in the day, stay in the moment. My best friend, Julia says that a lot and since I copy most everything she does, I am adopting that saying, too. Don't get too far ahead of yourself. If you do, you use up all your energy alloted for today on tomorrow, too. And then you are discouraged. And dang tired. I think Jesus said it best...Don't borrow trouble. So, that seems a fitting place to end. I mean, how do you top Jesus? Grateful, DD
