Nothing too important...

I have been struggling lately to find both the time and wittiness needed to post. I guess I can just write about anything, but for the family that is away from us, I guess I feel some sort of obligation to give a weekly journal of what's happening with the fam, particularly the kids.

So in my attempt to not only do some introspection, but fill up a blog post as well, here are a few things that have been on my mind...

I am more amazed every day at how clueless I actually am and how good I've become at making myself sound like I know it all...

I sometimes get lost in memories of the different stages of my life and have a tough time not longing for those times, but instead enjoying the now...

I understand how easy it is for a mother to not feel appreciated for the work that she does and how progress reports or a promotion at work are more tangible results than a child learning how to feed herself...

I easily get frustrated when involved in intellectual conversations because I am reminded of my college glory days and how my knowledge has evolved into something entirely different...

Now that these small thoughts have been expressed, I think I need to make a few things clear...

I have learned to appreciate the many blessings I have. I know I have been given certain talents to help others and I enjoy not only the opportunities that I have to serve,

but the full life that I am creating.
