So, this Spain thing has really brought some changes. A few months ago my husband and I were comfortably on the accumulation path. You know, the path of getting and then paying off the process of getting things. Things run your life. You don’t mean for it to happen, you don’t intend to give intangible…

So Much To Process
A lot has happened in the past couple of weeks. First, we got a call that Blake’s grandma Faye wasn’t expected to live beyond a few days to a few weeks. This is a picture of her (front row, third from the left) in 2003, when Taylor’s adoption was finalized. Last summer, we visited her…
Reset Buttons
Just when you think you’re getting things figured out, something happens that presses a potential life “reset” button. I haven’t decided yet if this is a reminder of our lack of control, or just opportunities for those who choose to view them that way. Four years ago we bought a new home which we love.…
Forethought
Admittedly, I tend to spend more than a fair share of my time and energies on preventative activities. I’m a big believer in the “ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” girl. I absolutely loathe panic and stress, and I’ve found that spending an adequate time planning and thinking ahead push panic and…
You Know, But Do You REALLY Know?
So you know you need to eat healthy. You know that so much of what’s out there is not healthy. You know that you need to take care of your health while you still can – before your body starts cashing in all its receipts of years worth of decisions. I know all these things,…
Some Things Never Change ~ Some Do
Well, I’ve been away from my blog since returning to work. It’s a lot harder to find time for things like this than I thought it would be. I’m sitting here right now trying to decide how much priority to place on it. Because I’ve never blogged for anything but personal interaction and recording I…
A Little Protection Goes A Long Way
While walking out front the other day, I spied this tiny little nest sitting in my guava tree: The entire thing would have fit neatly in the palm of a small child, yet the warmth and protection emanating from it would fill an entire heart. I couldn’t help but think about the representation it is…
Swapping My Flip Flops for Stilettos
I survived my first week of work in the office! It’s been kind of fun to have a change of pace. I don’t mind dressing up, but I sure am missing my flip flops! Those dress shoes are killer on the feet. The transition has been pretty smooth. I’m so grateful for years of keeping…
It’s Off To Work We Go
Well, it’s official. I took an offer yesterday to return to the working world. I’ll go in a few hours this week and start on Monday. Don’t feel left out, this was really out of the blue for me too. Suffice it to say, I wasn’t looking for work. The possibility landed in my lap…
Drains, Downs, Fills and Ups
Life finds a lot of parallels in daily events. Sometimes you find yourself up, other times down. They say the see-saw effect is a requirement to appreciate the meaning of both sides. I’m sure that’s true and likely the knowledge that there is an up for the down is what pulls us through. Often, you…
