It’s fascinating that when one is shopping for a home, one thinks of a home that they will raise a family in… Waking up and down hallways and looking into rooms thinking, this will be our baby’s room. This his and hers sinks are great. I love the master suite. And then to have a (or multiple) children grow up in that home and those rooms, dreamed of for potential children, become the home for children for 18+ years with so many memories of journeys around the yard and driveway… Forts and camps included , and all of a sudden those children have left and now they are just empty spaces that the child used to live in. It makes the importance of a home shift and all of a sudden it’s a home where people once live and now it’s a home of memories…

my view
This message stands out to me much differently today

Those who are entitled and rude lack humbleness and self responsibility. My hope is that they gain awareness and humility to realize acceptance and appreciation
Private practice, you get me every time.
My “gamer” (so not a gamer) :)
Went to play a wholesome family game with my in laws and my mother-in-law plays this as the first move…
Fitness magazine wants to feature me!
Seriously! I was informed today that Fitness Magazine wants to feature me about ‘Being at my fittest age ever!’ I am in shock, thrilled, and uber nervous/self conscious!
I am super proud of my awesome and amazing sister who is one of the strongest, prettiest, and wonderful people I know.

Today
I bared my soul and deepest secrets to a stranger. It was out of the blue and nothing I had ever planned on doing but the opportunity presented itself and I made it out okay.
A year or so ago my husband and I had a discussion of how we like to receive love (thank you Gary Chapman and the 5 love languages). One of mine is words of affirmation. A year later I still occasionally find these in random places. Tonight I found this one. :)
Day six
Today I’m thankful that my husband will slow dance to the lumineers “ho hey” in the kitchen.
Oh, and that Obama won!
