mia

feel a little like i have been missing in action

we took a few days to get away

went to a hotel for one night, stayed with friends for another two

the change from home was actually quite nice

especially since during the holidays we spent alot of time relaxing around home

now we are back at it

homeschool, book-keeping, laundry, baking

however, when the big cheese reappears we may go for a family ski

as i head into the new year,

i realize that i am not a person for resolutions

they don't work, usually add more frustration then they are worth

but i really feel like i have a heartfelt, unwritten desire to

reduce internal clutter

what does that mean?

not entirely sure...but some things i think are:

pass on things that aren't being used

say "no" when needed

finish projects on the go

spend time in my bible

get sleep

sit, have a chai, chat with a friend

stitch more, knit often

listen to children's stories, laugh

play a game, build a snowman

go to the beach

slow down, i don't want to miss all the beauty around me

beauty in my children, husband and world

beauty and blessing of each day
