normal day..

As I recall stating before,

I follow many blogs and most are scrapbook blogs.

One of those is julie-bonner.blogspot.com

today she shares of being so overwhelmed, trying to be

everything to everyone.

I use her quote:

"NORMAL DAY, LET ME BE AWARE OF THE

TREASURE YOU ARE. LET ME LEARN FROM YOU,

LOVE YOU, BLESS YOU BEFORE YOU DEPART.

DO NOT LET ME PASS YOU BY IN THE QUEST

OF SOME RARE AND PERFECT TOMORROW.

-mary jean irion

This quote just when my thoughts this morning

were about myself accepting today where my life is.

It has taken me some time to shut off the 5:30am

alarm and not feel guilty if I can't get up early

and start my day as I once did.

So what if I wake up at 9 because I didn't sleep good the

day before. yesterday I did some spring cleaning in my bedroom.

It was needed, I took my time, and I felt good about the

fact that I did something productive.

I thanked the day because I felt well enough to do it.

And even though I may be sore and pay for it today,

I am still happy today that I did it.

I did not take for granted the normal day.

I am getting better about this new life I call retirement.

I would be lying if I said I did not still long for

the work day and the children.

I am better than I was last week and if every

week is a little better then I will call this success.

Today is going to be a great one

as I have a baby shower of one of my TES family

and then movies with the two besties, Laurie and Ann

and Laurie's kiddies who I miss so much!

A beautiful day to be enjoyed, a normal day,

not to be wasted.
