Restarting, again!

So, for the past year we have not had internet. The hardest part about not blogging for so long is where to start? So, I will start with the fact that once again there are major life changes going on in our lives. Our youngest daughter will be graduating high school in less than two weeks. I can't even type those words without my eyes brimming with tears. Such a bittersweet moment. Luckily for me, she will still be home and learning with me daily as we ease into this next chapter of our lives. I am so thankful to have this time with our kids to enjoy a deepening friendship as they mature into full-fledged adults. I am doing all I can to savor each precious moment with them while they are still in the nest. Learning to enjoy my journey. Getting a little better at it each day. God willing I will continue to get better and better at this! Of course it's always easy when life is going well, but I do think I'm getting better at keeping the joy going when it's bumpy. Probably the hardest part is having my kids throw my words back at me when I'm grumbling. lol! I worked hard to teach my kids contentment and not to grumble, and for a long time I did very well with it. Then suddenly life seemed to take a tumble and I struggled to regain my footing, but with God's help, and my kid's encouragement, I am finding my way back to contentment!


May you have a blessed day today.
