Just sharing...
I have my son with me during the weeks most of this summer...and I am SOOOO in love with it. I love having him around so much. I don't even mind how early I get up! lol.
He makes me something totally freakin AWESOME everyday at camp. I have a boat made out of a teddy graham box and beautiful blue sails, a mega drum out of two oatmeal cans, a maraca out of a paper towel roll and a vast array of innovative paper airplanes.
I really love having analytical conversations that challenge my way of thinking. Stimulate my interest to learn something new and revisit my own to beliefs--every now and then you have some reaaaaallly good ones--its great brain exercise.
Maaan, Bush is off the chain. I will say one thing for the man...he is SECURE in his arrogance. I mean, he doesn't even flinch when he gives the middle finger to congress. He is like "what? say somethin, say something!"
I think that its interesting...I was thinkin the other day its interesting reading the language being used to describe struggles in politics. It is very vividly aggressive in its word choices.
Ok, done rambling for tonight...

Today, I knelt
eyes closed tightly
wishing some answers
would come to me
that I would know
When
When would this look differently
or
when will I see a different perspective
Why
Why was this so painful yet necessary
and
why is it taking so long for the lesson to settle past the sadness
Who
Who created this mess
and
who decides what is right...or wrong
What
What should I do because I really dont have the answers
or
what signs will let me know when I've been successful
Where
Where will it be when I feel more peace than doubt
and
where do I need to go to move past the insecurities that leave me there
How
How do these things ever find a happy ending
or how do you learn to be ok with whatever the ending.
Today, I knelt
eyes closed tightly
hoping some answers
would come to me
yet there was no magic incantation
no ah ha moment revealed though a beam of light
no whispers in the wind
just a quiet
where I could
just take time
to think about it
instead of wishing to be given the answers
