who? where? when?

me.

all over.

all the time.

it's been a whirlwind of a month. i cannot believe that i haven't posted in a month here. shocking, and yet, so understanding.

my life has been no different than it has ever been, honestly. i just haven't made it here to post on my site. i think i have sporadic blocks. indifference to keeping this active, and i think concern that what i am writing isn't all that interesting to anyone but me. but alas, i don't write for "interest" or even "entertainment. i am writing to journal this time.

so where, who, what have we been up to? we've had baseball (lotsa) and softball (reasonable amount) and hockey (just started) and end of school (hooray!) and settling ino to the summer routine (yay!) and interviewing babysitters (uhm ..) and work (boo!) and friends (hooray!) and babyshowers (hooray!) and barbeques (hooray!) and gearing up for vacation (hooray!) and cleansing the extras here in our lives (finally!) and .... oh, so much. it's been good, and busy, and fun, and cleansing.

i've adopted a new approach to time - time with my kids, time with my husband, time for me - just in general, i am more aware of the moments that i have. more in tune with the peace, and the incredible balance that is essential to achieve, and grasp in order to have time. the kids are enjoying the new approach. they have a super duper sticker chart (going back to previous times in their lives that were very beneficial!) and it's working well. they are achieving success, and realizing that life doesn't have to be so cluttered with things, and thoughts .... they are learning to "fly and be free!"
it's been a very interesting start to the year 2008. i feel like i went through a paradigm shift and looking back, i might still be processing the shift. it feels good (finally) and it feels right. timing wise, it was not necessarily accepted by me, but for the most part, i have come to terms with that, and realized that life hands you things that maybe shake you up for a reason. i've felt the shake. and i'm still feeling the shake. it's a great realization, though, and i am thankful for it.

so, with that, i will continue to process, and shift. and i will continue to let the "spirit" move me to writing. forcing it never works anyway. ;)
