Me Time

Well, today is a new day! I am enjoying the solitude of the morning. Aidan slept over at a friends, so it is just Sokka and me lounging around. I am trying to reflect on these last few weeks, to see where my path in life is leading and to what areas of my life I can improve. It seems appropriate during this Lenten time, while preparing to acknowledge the sacrifice God's Son made for me, I am also preparing for ways to propel my life forward!
As a mother, I am trying to enjoy my son more. I know that tomorrow isn't promised, but by God's grace, I will enjoy each day we have together. These are the times I will cherish as he grows. Sledding yesterday with him alone was thrilling for me, as we were exploring and having fun together. Then we went back with his friend a little while later and there were new and exciting things to watch. Him and his friend became more daring in the tricks they tried. They used trial and error to see how building a jump would or would not work. After on hour, I was exhausted. So, I sat back and watched as they tirelessly continued playing, laughing, and enjoying their snow day!
As a daughter and friend, I am trying to make wise choices, when to react and when to let go. I am a model to my son of how to treat a parent. I try to keep that in mind when I want to react inappropriately or harshly towards my parents. Unhealthy friends, fall by the wayside and strong friendships, are being fortified. May each day, bring support and encouragement to and from them.
It is truly my hope that while reflecting on my life, I am helping to correct past errs and to forage new and glorious memories to recall in my future:)

SNOOOOWWWWW!

I woke up refreshed after a great girls night out at The Melting Pot. I couldn't decide what to do first! After deciding on coffee making as a first priority, everything else fell into place. I took the dog out and then we (the dog and I) settled in for a good morning read. It was there on the couch that I thought how much I love snow. It slows everyone down, at least for a little while. This is just another reason why I love it!
So, for about an hour, I had some peace and quiet, which is rare. Then my son pounds down the steps to say good morning with his usual cat-like snuggle on my lap. Now, the next question of the day is, stay in pajamas or get dressed?
Hmmmm.......
