The rush is on. As I try to hold on to that blissful summer feeling (the one that says “I can do that later, we’ve got all summer”) I am suddenly faced with the reality that summer is almost over. It’s time to clean out the dressers and closets – sorting things into the three categories: keep; throw away; give away. Each year the same routine . . . charting the growth of the children, always amazed at how much they’ve grown (how can that shirt not fit? He hardly had a chance to wear it?!) Despite the slightly melancholy nostalgia that sweeps over me I am also thrilled by the sight of the newly emptied drawers and closets – so meticulously organized. And I always believe that THIS year, they will stay that way. HA!
Cindy,
I too am storing the moments that this past few months have afforded us while I transition to the opportunities of today with an eye for tomorrow.
I read this and the “Hurry Scurry…” post on your new site just now and two things compelled me to comment. First is that I had just read today’s “Twenty-Four Hours a Day” book reading ( http://www.hazelden.org/web/public/thought.view?catId=1901 ) which I think is in the same vain of your message (synchronicity). The second issue is that I like the way your new blog is coming together. The pictures change and I am wondering if these are your uploaded pix or if there is a Word Press widget that is displaying them.
I’ve been spending a lot of time trying to figure out how to change the appearance of my blog. Learning lots, but haven’t been able to change anything yet. So, the pictures you see are the ones that came with the thesis theme for word press.
