It's been so busy that I have neglected my blog for over a month. Maybe that's ok. I've been busy living. Trying to stay focused and live in the now. I often have a hard time staying in the present mentally. I tend to think of the things to come.
Now, the soccer season has ended and Legacy is over. Both have been so good for James. At his last soccer game of the year, he made THREE goals!!! They call that a "hat trick". I had no idea that it was something so special that it has a name. During the 8 weeks of Legacy, James participated in Show and Tell. He never missed a morning to share something.
During all of the craziness that was October, I increased my hours at work. I had been working about 25 hours a week and now I am up to 30 or 31 hours which means I have added an extra shift. Between my husband and I, there is not one day of the week in which we are both off. It's hard sometimes but we made the commitment to homeschool and my husband has his own business. These are the sacrifices we make. I am an optimistic, glass-half-full kind of person and even when life is demanding and I feel weary, I am still happy. I say prayers of gratitude for my husband, James and our health. I pray in gratitude for family that is close by and offer support whether in words or deeds. Simply, life is good.
