Have you ever run into a friend from high school and thought, 'man, she looks old.' Then, you realize that you are the exact same age and look just as old! Life is funny like that. Sometimes its hard to see yourself the way you really are. If I really examine my life, though, the years are quickly passing by. My daughter is in the third grade! It sounds unreal. Its like she was born yesterday. In this time again she will be 16! I think I can wait for that time. The holidays and the new year are soon approaching and shortly thereafter the baby will be a year old. I am still trying, but as of yet, I have been unsuccessful in slowing the days. The days continue to just run into one another. Seriously though, its okay. The days are not important to me, its the moments that count. My daughter was chosen to compete in the UIL competition for spelling and creative writing. She was glowing with excitement and pride when she told me after school. I'm saving that moment. When the baby first crawled he turned around and smiled at me. I'm keeping that one too. Life is good like that.

Hey Sharina! It is definitely the moments that must be cherished. When we think of life as a whole it can feel tough and overwhelming, but there are momnts within the mist of it all that reminds us of the good and the glorious and all that is to be kept close to the heart. I am excited for Ilana (hope I spelled it right). I am confident that she will do well.
A big congratulations to that grandniece of mine! It will be a challenge, but hopefully it will be fun, too!
The pic of my grandnephew is great. Those bright eyes are really shining!
