I’m working on our PTSA newsletter so that is why posting is slim. It is many hours of work and when I’m engrossed in it, there isn’t much space left for writing.

Today is busy. Got up, went to the bank, grocery store and then to pick up a gift for a 40th birthday party we are going to tonight. What do you get for a woman who’s turning 40? The stores were all out of cute 20 year old cabana boys…so we got her a spa gift certificate instead. Ha! If she’s lucky maybe it will be a boy rubbing down her body.

Hubby and I are also going to go see that new movie this afternoon Fire something or other with Harrison Ford. Then we are going to go out for seafood at McCormick and Schmidts. This is our “Valentines Date”. Usually we go the spa togther and do a couples thing… but we weren’t in the mood this year. Both of us are happy with dinner and a movie.

Anyway…it’s one of those busy days where you pray no one calls you on the phone. I just don’t have time to chat and get done everything I need to do today. (I have a chatty family) It’s days like this that I find I struggle most to be really present and enjoy my life. It’s like my life is so filled up with stuff that I am focused on the stuff instead of the people…

Whatever. It sure might be hard to savor the experiences when I am going at breakneck speed… but I can still recognize it for what my life is when filled with all these experiences: Fun! :) I’m getting really good at practicing gratitude at 100 mph…
