Hello FD family and friends,
It’s been a while since my last blog. Mostly because there has been one thing after another on my calendar. I might need to come back to work just so that I can rest! It’s all been in good fun though. Last weekend I was able to enjoy some very quality time with my best friend and both our families. This is a rare opportunity given we both live busy lives with kids. We enjoyed the beach and thanked God for each other and the blessings in our lives. Then we rushed back to home in the concrete jungle for the work week. We are down to the last week of summer for kids and it seems like there is more to do than usual to prepare them for the school year. Most of my week was checking off a zillion things for each of them. Too many to list and you don’t want to read that anyway. While I thought I would be doing more ‘fun’ stuff on Sabbatical, this provided me with time to spend with each of them independently. I recently saw on Facebook that time = love to a child. As a working mom that travels quite a bit, I have to say this was a huge blessing to have just time. My daughter is about to leave for college. This is my first born and I’m not sure what to expect as we are packing her up this week to move into the dorm. What I do know is that this time is precious so I am cherishing every minute. Meanwhile, my son (age 10) is starting his last year in elementary school and as a result of them growing up too fast, I may be having a mid life crisis by the end of the week. This is my last week of Sabbatical. I plan to make the most of it! Until next time…
