Time flies...

I bought this pill box to remind me to take my afternoon thyroid pill since this is a new schedule for me.  What I have found is that it not only reminds me to take a pill but it also reminds me how fast time is flying by.  I fill it for a week and before I know it it's almost empty; Sunday has come around again; and I fill it for another week.  Everyone tells you when you have kids how quickly the time goes by.  It sure didn't seem to be holding true in the beginning.... sleepless nights, days of trying to figure out the next activity to entertain them and the many dirty diapers!  Somehow that has turned into a busy schedule of getting them where they need to be and when, figuring out who is home for dinner and organizing school schedules and you know what?  All those people were right!  As the kids get older the time goes faster.  No sooner have we started a new school year before we find ourselves planning summer vacation!  I want it to slow down.  I don't want to be refilling that pill box so soon.  Or maybe I just don't want the reminder of how quickly it all goes by.

Blessed

I'm not a particularly religious person.  Spiritual, yes, but religious?  Not really.  But over the last two months a word keeps coming into my life in different forms; "Blessed"  I think it is happening to remind me to stop and think about all of the reasons I have to feel blessed.  To not take it for granted.  And now to write my thoughts down about how blessed I feel for each day.  I have wanted to do this for a long time and yesterday had lunch with RP who gave me the idea and the inspiration to get started.  I sit at this computer each day for some period of time so there is not a more convenient place to record my thoughts.  This is for me and for the people that have blessed my life with their existence.
