A powerful, thought-provoking insight....

Give me a well-trained tongue that has been borne out of silent listening in the sanctuary of my heart.

Time Flies

I can't believe it's already the end of July . . . a month since my last post. The kids have been out of school, we've just returned from our yearly week at Cumberland Dance Week in Kentucky, now we have another week before school starts back for the kids. I'm not sure where this summer went! I have a son who is going into middle school. I've been awestruck by the changes in him over the summer . . . what I got to see and experience of him at Camp . . . I'm actually not quite as worried about middle school as I was before the summer started. My children are growing up. We want our kids to grow up. Really. But sometimes, it's hard. I never could get my mother to admit that . . . that she ever had regrets or wishes for more time. Right now, with so much change happening in our house, I wish I had made more time over the last couple of years just to be with my kids. Just be with them. I don't know.

Life goes on and we can choose a different lilt to our step with our next footfall.
