It's been awhile...

Hello? Anyone there? Not sure what prompted my fingers to search for my old blog again. But here she is, in all her glory. It was a nice stroll down memory lane. So much has happened, but Facebook can keep you up on that. This was always intended for me, for my therapy, for my sanity. I think I'll write a little bit again. No promises of how often or how beautiful, just getting the words out so that I don't have to annoy my family and my friends with my musings. Yes, it's time, missed you old friend.

The sun is shining again. It's crazy how much my mood depends upon that golden ball in the sky. Life just feels different when its's shining down on us, know what I mean? It's like a warm hug after a stressful day. 

The past few years I have spent more and more time on my outside space. Living here, in the Midwest, we get so little time to spend outside in the sunshine. We have created a patio/deck space that fits our needs. Last year I added a table and chairs, this year two rocking chairs. Just yesterday I bought some bright pink hydrangeas for the flower garden. It just feels like home. Home is different every year. This year it's a whole new crazy with wedding planning, house buying, teenager chaos and then the simple hobby farm and all it's woes. The past couple of weeks have been so busy that my plan for today is to sit and read a Harlen Coben book and soak up the rays. I wish I could do this more often, but instead of complaining about how much time I don't get to do it I am just going to sit in the sun, soak up the hug, and enjoy the moments. Hope you get to see the sun today.
