So i have found myself unbelievably busy lately, a lot due to kids sports and etc like usual, (who knew baseball and softball would each be a 5-6 hour commitment a week?! not to mention IN SLEET HAIL AND SNOW. i thought that was just the postal service...anyway...),but also it has been because of some really really good things i have filled my days with. And while generally i think rushed chaos is not the best way to live (and my house is a PIT), for right now, it is allowing me to breathe. And often, even enjoy the process.
New, little (or not so little) things i am doing that bring joy & life:
-Book Club (except this month trying to plow through Faulkner)
-Basketball (i'm counting this as new cause now Brenda is joining too, and besides the constant beating she gives me, it makes it super DUPER fun)
-Bible Study (When Godly People Do Ungodly Things- with the girls)
-Art Literacy (I teach kindies, and second and fourth graders- this month is Paul Klee, next is MONET!)
-Knitting ( 11 scarves, 4 hats, 7 baby hats, and i'm working on a baby bonnet and a hat for ella right now- oh and i taught 5 peeps how to knit last Sat)
-Financial Peace University (getting out of debt WHILE knitting!)
-Propresenter ( serving ethnos on lyrics)
-TURBO Kickboxing
-Pilates
-Yoga (etc... I FINALLY got added to our gym membership!!!)
-Phiner Things Club (if you're not already in the know, you are not exclusive enough to join)
-Guitar Lessons (hallelujah amen and my fingers hurt)

Again, thank you so much for doing lyrics
Thanks for sharing your list Rach. I remember a time when you had a hard time telling me one good thing in your life when I would ask. Now you have a whole list!
And, you know you love the beatings! It just makes you a better player right? I am doing you a favor!
Brenda
you're welcome paulos. it really is my pleasure.
and yeah, i think it's really good for me to have a list. you know, for when it still doesn't feel like it...
it's funny how quickly the darkness can overtake you at anytime really, if you aren't watching for it.
and now i can say "oh yeah? well just take a look at my list Hopelessness! how do you like them apples?! Ha-Saw!"
Big ups for the PTC shout out!
yeah, are we going to get together and look over them? i have approximately...2 good pictures. so. you won't wanna miss out on that.
and also too, ray-ray, i am so thankful that you have so many things going for you right now! that makes me smile.
hmm...i don't know that i would put it as things "going for me". I'm bending over backwards to be this intentional. But anyway, whatever it is, i'm glad too.
And yes, i believe we spoke of getting together this monday afternoon.
Financial Peace University! Paul and I did that about 4 years ago and it was probably the best thing we ever did for our marriage. It's hard to stick with it but it's awesome when you start seeing the difference it makes in your relationship not to have that constant stress. It's worth the frustration and time investment so stick with it! :)
(i believe i speak for all of us when i say that is music to our ears, lish!)
When is the next PTC shoot going to be? There is a possibility that I may have a new camera to take... I really miss "going shooting."
Wow! Fun for you.
On a sunday morn in a couple weeks. But the exact day is TBD.
