The last two weeks I have jotted notes as the joys and blessings washed over me along with the rain that has been non-stop...
Day 6: There is this amazing sweet smell when I walk the dogs each morning. I cannot figure out where it is wafting from... no gardens in that section of the walk. Perhaps a tree's blooms but nothing obvious. It is a mysterious delight.
Day 7: Birthday party at Jacobson Park. Simply joys of kids (even when they think they are so big) laughing and running around like banshees on a playground!
Day 8: Mom's day. Kid's made breakfast and sweet cards. A day of rest for me from usual weekend routine and hustle.
Day 9: Nate cell phone. Age 10. Boy, did we self-justify that one.
Day 10: Nathan clicks over to double digits. Where did the time go? I wonder when he will stop having me tuck him in at night, read with him or rest with him for a bit to answer life's questions and chat about the day? I am no hurry for those things to change.
Day 11: I am grateful I still write notes by hand. I wish more people did.
Day 12: Robin Hood Marketing book. Good reminders and some new ideas. Need to share the book.
Day 13: Purple iris' in neighbor's yard. Lovely.
Day 14: Love a list for cleaning the house. Obsessive? Yes. Stick like it, yes. Especially when done and the effort lasts for more than an hour!
Day 15: Gary Black on change coming, new Richmond Road Campus Pastor for Southland, "Nervousness is natural. Fear is a choice." Love it. Then traveled.
Chicago. O'Hare Westin Platinum guest. Heavenly Bed; amazing toiletries; iPod docking station in room. Need I say more?
Day 16: Digging on the new Y USA Strategic Plan vision. I really like to learn. Enjoyed Dan Heath video segments and Neil's twirl.
Day 17: I am grateful Kate protects my calendar.
Day 18: Bill Farmer is smart. I like thinking with him. Isabel Taylor is wise. I like learning from her. Chris Coker is hilarious. I like my internal laughs from afar with him.
