Here I am – the worlds worst blogger at it again.
I realize of course that I should be updating things more
frequently considering I started this blog just about a year ago and have had
only 14 posts in that time. What a
crazy year it has been though. When I started the blog I never would have
imagined that in just 12 short months so much would have changed in our lives.
What I have come to discover about change is that while some
people consider change to be a good thing, and other people consider change to
be a bad thing, all that change really is – is constant. How you react to the
inevitable changes in life will decide for you if the change was positive or
negative to you personally.
It has been 8 months since my last update and sometimes I
feel like no time has passed and other times like an entire lifetime has gone
by.
I have accomplished so little of what I set out to a year or
so ago, and have instead done so incredibly much more in other ways that sometimes I
wonder how I’ve gotten as much done as I have.
Especially with those helpers that I have around here.
The school year is starting again in a week, and for one
final year all three of my girls will be in the same school – it is exciting
but also brings on the list of things that I want to accomplish this year –
much like last year, and a number of the same things are on the list. I think a
new school year can be a lot like New Years since it can be a time for a reset
of sorts. Fresh notebooks, sharp
pencils, new erasers – and of course cookies in the lunch box for a snack.
Rather than New Years Resolutions only happening on January 1st - I'm going to work on setting some New School Year Resolutions including, the usual exercise more, eat better, clean the clutter out of the house (that is a whole different post), write more in the blog, working more for EDGE, train the puppy (yes, there is a puppy now), manage money better, and so many more. I'll keep updating the list as I go along.
