A Spirit of Gratitude: August 22

I AM THANKFUL FOR:

Grand baby all sticky from eating Rice Krispie treats
Grand baby snuggling up with his grandpa
Finding time to write
New ideas for Queen B's Busy Work
 When God makes me laugh
Watching bad movies with the family
The male offspring with a fresh haircut
Caramel candy

Anxiously Awaited Beginnings

New Year's Day 2012 was spent waiting.  And waiting.  And waiting some more.  We are eagerly awaiting the birth of our first grandchild.  And he should be arriving sooner, rather than later. 

New Year's Day The Princess was having mild - but regular - contractions all afternoon.  It's still very early in her labor process, so we haven't rushed off to the hospital yet.  She's just in a "wait and see' pattern until they get stronger, or something else changes.

As a result, the new year began with a waiting game.  And the wait continues...

Beginnings

Happy New Year 2012!  January 1 is always a time for new beginnings.  Maybe this year more than usual.  In 2012, January 1 is...

A new year.

A new month.

A new week.

I've always loved beginnings.  Fresh starts.  Like...

The first day of school. 

A fresh new box of crayons (which, btw, is still a favorite thing of mine - even though I am no longer a school girl). 

That first night's rest on clean or new sheets. 

New pens. 

New socks - especially comfy, fuzzy ones.

Being the first person to squeeze on a new tube of toothpaste. 

Beginnings - big or small - can be refreshing and exciting.  So.. here's to the beginning of 2012.  And all the fresh, new beginnings it holds in store for us all!

How Is It December Already?

Really?  How did this happen?  How can it be December already?  Wasn't it just Halloween?  Thanksgiving?  Even the 4th of July doesn't seem that long ago.  I feel like I've missed some time somewhere along the way.

Yet, here we are.  December first.  The last month of 2011.  Only twenty-four days until Christmas.  Thirty days until 2012, a whole new year. 

Time is flying past so quickly!  In the words of Ferris Bueller:  "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."
