Not sure why I consider September a new beginning but I do. A new season and a new school year. The big deal is Isabel starting High School and the little girls becoming seniors in grade seven at the elementary school. It just seemed to come up on us so fast!! Yesterday they were tiny girls playing with their toys on the playroom floor. Now the toys are gone or packed away and the "playroom" will become a "study". Since the girls have pretty much taken over the family room it may very well become my room.
I will have to think about that.
In any case as we take one long last lingering look back at the summer of 2009 I am sort of sad. It was a sweet time for our family but a tragic year for others and that cast a cloud over our happiness. There are times when I would just like to stop the clock or better yet turn back time. But we can't. My hope is that one day we will know the big "why" of things and understand that this is as it was meant to be and there is a reason. It is just beyond our understanding now which is so hard to grasp.
Anyhoo........not where I meant to go today. I was looking ahead and planning the future when the past crept up and bit me on the bum.
I am full of plans as usual and full of anxiety that they will never come to fruition. ( gives self big shake!!)
Here is the family I have been so richly blessed with on a beach only God could have made and that will be there long after we are gone.
Also please remember we technically have three weeks of summer left!!!!!! Get out there and enjoy it.
Vancouver was fun and the house is not much further along. I have moved a ton of stuff to my bedroom to use as a sort of staging area and it looks like I am sleeping in some weird junk shop. Honestly there are lampshades and all sorts of art pieces and hardware and paint cans. It is pretty scarey..............Derek has moved into the guest room.
The plan........and there always is a plan........is to get busy once the girls are back in school.
Hardy, Ha, Ha.
