I've been trying to be AWARE of everything around me lately. I feel as if I've been on a few months hiatus (funny word) from the norm, putting all my other priorities on the second shelf while I focus on my studies. It feels good to put the class behind me and focus on my family. Being AWARE of my surroundings makes me happy.
Brendan had a GREAT day (smiley face note from his teacher and all), followed by a TERRIBLE day. I contribute lack of sleep for the bad day. He ended up sleeping 14 1/2 hours last night! Oh my God, who does that!? In my midst of stressing out, trying to figure out what to do with Brendan, I found this. It made me SOOOO happy this week:
It was a PRESENT! Just for me!!! Thank you, Ali Edwards! It felt so good. It was like LIFE trying to tell me, "Don't worry, Amy. With the bad, comes the good. Keep focused on the good, and all the other will melt away." Wow. All of that in a box from Ali with my name on it. Got to LOVE that!!
Oh. Here's some more news. Brad and I are thinking about this:
It's a 2002 Tahoe. Drove it over the weekend. Fell in love. You have NO IDEA how good it feels to be thinking of entering the world of SUV's and soccer moms again. This is BIG for me right now. Wow, what a sweet ride!! And, I so miss you Shelley. The word TAHOE so reminds me of you and when you first got yours.
Hanging on to the past can be very fun, but it can lead to dead ends. I'm trying to reach out into my future and find happiness, and leave the past behind. I think I am about to embark on a very fabulous and exciting adventure. A world of Flash, Web sites, posters, cards, computer graphic design stuff. Only a few more clients to go, and maybe I can venture out on my own. I only have one more class keeping me at MSU. Then, it's time to spread my wings. We'll see where my journey will take me.
Tomorrow is National Scrapbooking Day. Hug a scrapbooker, will ya!? We're people, too!!
