I listen to the sounds of the clock resonating in my ears causing a deafening sound.
I watch the days go by and the pages on the calendar turn.
I see the sun rise and fall faster and faster.
And yet time seems to stand still.
Tick Tock-Tick Tock-Tick Tock.
Today turns to yesterday.
Tomorrow turns to today.
Minutes turn to hours.
Hours turn to days.
Days turn to months.
Months turn to years.
And yet time seems to stand still.
Tick Tock- Tick Tock- Tick Tock.
I'm still standing here waiting for you to come back to me.
Waiting.
Wondering.
Is this real? Is this a dream?
Time races by and yet for me it still feels like it was yesterday.
Tick Tock- Tick Tock- Tick Tock.

IF
If you are a bird, fly free.
I pray you feel the wind under your wings and the freedom you once sought.
When you grow tired from flight, I will be your tree.
Come rest your weary wings in my shade. You will find comfort and be restored.
If you are a tree, I will rest in your shade.
I will be refreshed and ponder the thoughts of life.
It is here I will say my thoughts aloud and find my own roots among yours.
When the winds blow, I will hear your music as you sway back and forth.
I will feel the energy of your love and smile.
I will remember the music we enjoyed and the merriment we felt as our feet moved to the rhythm and could no longer remain still.
If you are the wind, I will feel your gentleness as you tickle my face.
I will smile when I see the trees and flowers dance to your music.
On a hot summer day, I will delight in your breeze of refreshment and rejoice in the moment of comfort and feeling of love.
With joy, I will watch as you carry the leaves through the sky and their willingness to dance.
I will give thanks for the simple things in life.
If you are the sun, I will find warmth in your rays and feel your energy and love.
I will be renewed on the days I'm feeling blue and watch my personal clouds dissipate.
I will be reminded that the sun is the giver of life and bask in your glow.
If you are the moon, I will watch from below and smile as you find illumination from the sun.
With each cycle, I will be reminded of change and the importance of it.
I will be reminded that change comes from within and I am the beginning of change.
As I sit next to a fire, I will think of you as you cast your moonbeams from above and remember your grace, valor and love.
If you are you and I am me then our energies together will be.

A full circle
Oh, Dear Heart... today I missed you. I have missed you everyday since you went away but today was a reminder of the fragility of life. It was a month ago today that I received the fateful call that I will never forget...the call that changed my life and the course of it. As sad as it is for me and as much as my heart and soul hurt as a result, today I was also filled with joy. Joy you created for me.
A sweet girl that I have not officially met but already love told me about sweet melodies. I went to the garage and checked it out. I saw you there. You were in the sounds. You were in the air. The melodies filled my being and I met some pretty amazing people. People you would have loved. I know you were there because I could feel you. I felt like I have known these people forever... a brother from a previous life so today I embraced a new beginning. Not a beginning without you...a beginning where I met someone new and added them to my family as you would have.
Music. Your soul. My soul. Combined. Intertwined. Beautiful melodies. Tonight our souls danced and I felt you there and your smile. Your love. I knew you would have been pleased. I met someone new and I felt as if we had been connected for a lifetime. Tonight was a full circle. In a few minutes it will mark the time I received a phone call that forever changed my life and tonight I met a new friend that changed my life with music and friendship. He was someone you would have loved.
I miss you and I love you.

WOW!
When I looked at the date of my last entry the word WOW popped in my head. WOW 2 months have flown by. WOW time flies. WOW where did it go? WOW what have I done in the last two months?
It's been 2 months since my fingers hit these keys to share with those of you that skim my words for something remotely interesting. I have to admit that I really don't have much to share. I have been really busy. We moved and I am still in the process of unpacking but slowly I am chipping away at it. The living room will soon be what it was intended for instead of a storage space.
I have been caught up in a relentless schedule, one that is more than tiring. Even now as I sit here stroking these keys, my eyes drooping, I hear a voice inside my head that tells me to get to bed. WHY am I still sitting here? I know why. I haven't really had a moment to myself in the last few months and I need it. A moment where I can be and just be present. Not worrying about my schedule, what I have to do or get done, who I have to call/see, what projects need to be done or what boxes need to be put away. A moment that doesn't wonder what I need to do for the kids or their schools. A moment to just be still. Still in my mind, body and spirit. I haven't engaged in such a moment for longer than I care to admit. I haven't been to yoga in a few weeks and I MISS IT! Yoga definitely helps me just be. My soul, spirit and body misses it. Thankfully I am going this Friday and I know I will enjoy it.
Anywho... I hear a voice screaming from the other room for me to come....My body willfully surrenders. Sleep is long over due.

Time and Happenings
I haven't forgotten my blog.... I've just been busy.
Rest assured I haven't neglected these pages or those of you that take the time to read the uninteresting words I fill the space with. Life has taken hold of me and I have been a little bogged down with the events that have taken place.
So...hmm. What has happened to me since June 20th? Anything interesting? Here's what I have been up to and maybe some of it hits the interesting category and some of it doesn't but here it is just the same.
My son took an enrichment program through his school for approximately a month. He loved it and I loved seeing all of the things he made and learned about. He met some more friends. He's so outgoing and social. It's amazing to me that he has these characteristics because neither Shayne or I carry them that strongly. He's gotten so big I continue to be amazed at how fast time flies.
My daughter participated in summer camp for 2 weeks at her preschool...she loved it. Since the program has ended she asks almost daily if she has school the next day. I might add that she tends to have some separation anxiety and if I walk her in she latches onto me like another appendage. Her little arms wrap tightly around my leg and every attempt to shake her loose is unsuccessful. It's the sweetest thing and a little trying when I'm in a rush. But deep down I love it....her little way of saying she loves being with me so much she doesn't want me to go. So, I drive up to the gate one morning and she says, "Mommy, I want to walk in by myself." I smile with pride and say sure. I walk her to the gate and tell her I'll stand there until she is safely inside. She firmly states again that she doesn't want me to accompany her and I assure her I am letting her do it on her own. Wow! She did it. Wow, I did it. Again I have to say they grow up so FAST!
I participated in a stained glass class which I loved!! So be on the look out for some new creations. (I unfortunately haven't had a moment to breathe much less create)
I started a new job and so far I love it.
We are preparing to move...packing and moving slowly into our new place.
Savannah had her first hair cut. I just wanted her to get it trimmed but before we left she said, "No Mommy, I don't want snarls anymore. I want it all off."
(picture taken before haircut)
Our son turned 7!!!! Where does time go?
My mom was in the hospital again. She's okay, thank God.
I started taking Yoga again. Restorative. Peace. Grounded. Centering. Me.
Football started. I hate the rigorous schedule but my two favorite boys love it. Gavin absolutely loves that Shayne is his coach and vice verse.
Monday Shayne and I will celebrate 14 years together (8 married). I feel so blessed to have been able to share so much time with an amazing person who I love dearly. Although we are both Pisces and at times can be out of balance with one another some how we eventually find balance. We counteract one another and the bond we share is remarkable.
I don't know if it was interesting to you but it is my life and I think it is. It's not dull that's for sure.
