People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long course of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and yet they pass by themselves without wondering.

Thought for the day.....

The thought for the day is....



Life is 10% what happens to you......AND 90% what you DO with what happens to you.



Durring an expecially difficult day....someone read this thought off of their "thought calendar". I have to admit...it helped me try to put life in perspective. This week has been one of those where it reminds me how much I wish I didn't have to work outside the home. Don't get me wrong - I am gratefull to have an amazing office to work in...and most of the people I work with ---I really enjoy working with. I just miss the opportunity to be a full time - -at home mom.

I do have to take a moment and recognize the gifts my children are learning due to my absence. I do firmly believe they are learning to rely more on each other, they are learning independance - -which some of them truly need to learn more than others. And I am learning I don't have to do it all myself - - there are wonderful friends and loved ones out there that are willing to help.

I truly feel blessed. I am surrounded by wonderful people - - even when I dont want to continue on the course I am currently on! Wow - -thanks ...I love you - - and you know who you are!
