Forgiveness

We could all learn a thing or two about forgiveness from the children in our lives.

I personally think that I am very laid back but have a hard time forgiving and an even harder time forgetting when I have been wronged.  I struggle with this A LOT no matter how hard I try.

I watch these two boys, at the mercy of my parenting trials and tribulations forgive so WHOLLY and EASILY when I make a mistake.  Literally, five minutes later all they want is love from me..which only serves to make me feel even worse.

The new 25

I am turning 35 in a few days and while I have never been a big numbers girl this one is hitting me kind of hard.  I am blessed in more ways than you want to hear but I still feel like I have not accomplished as much by this age as I thought I would.  On the other hand, I had a hard time envisioning myself as a mother or a wife and if I say so myself I am doing a pretty decent job in that arena.  Life is funny, short, unpredictable, great, crazy but it is my life and I am proud and thankful of where I am....even if it isn't where I expected to be.

If you really knew me you would know that

I am shy

I love being outside digging in the earth

I am married to my best friend..and the funniest person I have ever met

I look forward to my English Breakfast Tea every morning

I recycle

I am teaching myself to sew

Italian food = true love

I never thought I would be so domesticated...or a stay at home mom

Fresh cut grass, rosemary and baby breath are some of my favorite smells

I go with the flow but never quite fit in
