It’s a full moon tomorrow people! And the first day of Spring! Yay!! Maybe that also means Alabama weather will take the hint and not be freezing anymore. I look forward to bitching about how hot it is in a few months!
This blog has become so therapeutic for me. I never realized writing was until recently. I kept journals all the time when I was younger. Something made me stop though. That’s for another post. Anyways-
Apparently kindergarten takes two days worth of pictures. One day for “spring pictures” another for “class pictures” of course I’ll buy them just to keep them to taunt my child with later and blow them up to life size wall canvases. I’ll also take my own. My favorite kind, the “real” kind. Photos of Vanna teaching herself to draw and getting frustrated about it , Tilton laughing and falling over at making himself dizzy, Tallulah drooling because of four (yes FOUR) new teeth coming in. I want to remember the good times, and the struggles of this season in my life. Why?
For those days I feel defeated and I can’t go on I can look back and realize hey I made it through that, keep going, your work isn’t done here.
An older man holding up a cardboard sign at a gas station made my day today. It said “Veteran in need of a rich wife or gas money”. He smiled as he asked when we were getting married, I unfortunately had to decline for now. I did met his request for gas money. We then prayed together and went our separate ways. I’m sure that man had no plans of begging on the side of the road in his lifetime. I know exactly what it feels like to have nothing though. In that moment of time with him, I was able to help and that’s what matters in this life.
