    Sometimes I find something that just hits me and strikes a chord with my heart. A few days ago these lines made me slow down and connect with life.

    • How often are we so busy acquiring that we forget all we have?
    • How often are we so busy engaging those around us that we forget the simple gift of their presence?
    • How often are we so busy rushing to a destination that we forget to enjoy the journey?
    • How often are we so busy trying to make more time that we forget to be thankful for the time we have?

      I’m so greatful for my family. I was able to have two of my daughters work in the shop this summer. Couldn’t find jobs at the local mall, so they had to work in the machine shop for the Dad. It was a great time to have them to talk with too and from work. The eldest is missed as she just went back to Groove City College in PA, and the other starts the 11 grade on Monday. It was a good summer!!!!!!!!!

I am grateful that after being a super mom for many years I can finally have a little more balance in my life and enjoy my time with my hubby and my adult children and try to stay fit.
