October Thoughts

It's been a month of change and adventure for us here.  As we watch all our efforts come together it leaves me with so many thoughts.  I have had a difficult time trying to write about just one.  Prolonging this posting.

This is my recap for now.

Change happens to all of us.  Each year, month, week, and day.  You really never know what you will wake up to in the morning. Today I was trying to catch up on some lost sleep, to find a painter at my window.  This forced me out of bed.  Which then I discovered I had to pop off to the market to purchase creamer for my coffee.  The only thing keeping me happy about this was knowing I could go to the market to purchase my creamer for my coffee.  What if I didn't even have this little luxury I indulge in each day.  First thing in the morning practice: first cup of coffee sitting on the deck watching everything come to life.  It's the only time my phone doesn't ring, the emails are piling up, and my children are to tired to say "mom" every five minutes.  The only thing I hear are the birds, and the breeze.

Some days we had so much happen, I didn't think I would get any sleep.  Other days we waited to receive results from others.  As the roller coaster for business continued I was able to experience and view this in personal lives as well. 

I was fortunate enough to accompany 5th graders to camp Killoqua http://www.campfireusasnohomish.org/killoqua.htm.  Watching them bond, grow, face their fears, and push themselves out of their comfort zones at camp, was watching history for their lives.  Never will they have this opportunity again.  Nor will they understand (until later in life) how profound the impact was for them.  I was so proud to see how they charged in with the tasks and challenges.  To witness pure compassion no matter the subject.  It gave me hope for our future generations.
 
We lost some people and gained others.  One of my dearist friends is moving to another state.  I find myself feeling so happy for him and wishing him the best of luck on his new adventure and the future it holds.  He will truley be missed.  A new artist is starting this week and I am anxious to see what she can do.

In this economy many people wake up each day praying and hoping they can have something positive happen to them.  Maybe someone finally finds a job after being out of w

ork for over a year.  Another can receive a hot meal.  They reconnect with a lost loved one.  Each day I'm happy to be meet with my family, warm home, and all the wonderful people in my life. 
Take each day for what it is.  Let the worries pass you, the joys embrace you, and never forget how lucky you are no matter what you posses.
 
Take care and take your time.
