I missed you.. Have I really been that busy? No probably not, but how easy to get lost in the busyness of our lives. September, October, November, most of December....and no posts! If this post was a person we would be fighting apparently, but no....just busy. My blog does reflect on how well I am taking care of myself. Before this year ends I want to recommit to taking care of myself. Physicall, emotionally, and spiritually. My journey continues.
After lots of thought I went back to college this semester... After reading a Debbie McComber book about living your potential. She talked about God giving you clues as a child to the job most suited to you. The job you are meant to have. As a child my favorite memory was going to the library. I wanted to read them all. I remember leaving with a stack I could barely carry. Being surrounded by the lovely smell and the covers all calling to me---Read Me First!
My mom developed my love of books and it is the greatest gift she gave me. I remember nap time, lying on mom's bed....she had her book and I had mine. She read poetry to me one time during a tornado!
Being able to escape into a story is such a blessing. A blessing not everyone has. I remember when I had my third child-Amber. I was reading a Stephen King novel(don't remember which) when I went into labor so I packed my book. After she was born, the nursing staff was so sweet to me. I heard them talking in the hallway, she has to at home let her rest. Oh year, I used the time to READ!! Even when they finally brought her to me, I put her in my lap and read.
I potty trained Andrea by reading Little Golden books to her. Books are my friends! Maybe I will get a book for Christmas....probably not . but I am giving books as gifts.
Well it felt good to write some. Hopefully I will be able to get back into this habit.
