Deep breathing...

So far, summer has been quite busy!!  Started it off with finding out that our daughter failed math, looking to possibly put her in private school (which we could ill afford), visiting what family I could in the couple of days I had available, leaving our youngest daughter with our oldest for a week and a half, going to Charleston for much needed "alone" time with the hubby....PHEW and it's just July!!

I good thing to come out of all this....I'm actually getting back into shape!  YAY!!  I've been taking more walks, exercising more, listening to music vs watching TV and generally, just taking deeper breaths in my life.  Everything is so unsettled, but I'm not letting it get me down.  There is a way through it and I just need to focus on that.  I find it easier to do that when I'm out walking.  I don't do what most people do nowadays, iPod and earplugs.  I want to listen to what is going on around me...from the bird singing in the tree to the traffic going down the street.  It allows me to truly be a part of what's going on.  I can't do that if I ignore it.

I may not be completely happy with where my life is at this point, but I'm not giving up on it either.  There's always something new around the corner......
