dog daze

Because I feel I need to write something...

The last few days of summer...

my best friend leaving.

a broken modem...so now I type in a Starbucks...

feeling better but sluggish in the heat.

been spending time sculpting.

Found a fantastic new yoga studio.

The little boy is becoming very adept at throwing tantrums....

and hitting

and biting again. (I used to be one of those people who believed children only did what was modeled for them by others...ha ha ha. Now I'm a parent and I know better!)

Practicing lots of breathing.

Reminding myself to enjoy the moments.

I Promise more lengthy and detailed posts once our Internet is up and running. This Thursday.

right now

I've been hiding out as of late. I'm sick with a little bug right now. The boy is on the mend from said illness. Being sick with a kiddo is the pits! So I've been playing it low and listening to myself. Also, prior to this little physical downer, I've been feeling a little blue. I've been itching for a sense of community that I just haven't found yet. Moving is tough! On an up note, my little brother is coming out to visit me tomorrow before he takes off for grad school. Then next week one of my very bestest friends in the whole universe is coming with her two precious daughters. I'm looking forward to a little love balm for my soul.

words from the universe

Searching for some inspiration this morning, I picked out a book and randomly flipped to a page. I thought some Shel Silverstein was bound to be uplifting. Here's what came up:

Helping

Agatha Fry, she made a pie,

And Christopher John helped bake it.

Christopher John, he mowed the lawn,

And Agatha Fry helped rake it.

Zachary Zugg took out the rug,

And Jennifer Joy helped shake it.

And Jennifer Joy, she made a toy,

And Zachary Zugg helped break it.

And some kind of help

Is the kind of help

That helping's all about.

And some kind of help

Is the kind of help

We all can do without.

Me, myself, I'm not sure which is which at the moment. I'm still looking for a little clarity.
