Been a minute

 I keep having these amazing thoughts on my drive home about what I want to say here, but life has been far too busy to even put text onto the computer. 

Things I think of in no particular order: 

- Politics is so transient based on the current social framework. Take Trump for example. He is, by all accounts a deplorable human being and yet, people like him and even want to see him in power even though he has been found to be guilty of several transgressions. 

- My mother hung on for 9 days so as to not forever taint my birthday and I am so thankful that she gave us the time that she did. 

- follow up to that, I see things everywhere that remind me of my aunt and my mom. EVERYWHERE... and the grief springs up out of nowhere. 

- My kids are continuously busy and whatever time I think I have, I am wrong and don't have because they eat said time with activities. But at the same time they are so full of personality. I have a budding scientist, an artist and an athlete. Who knew. 

- I had a brief period of time where it was just doug and I and it renewed our connectedness if that even is the right word. We found each other again and I feel like it is important to do that. 

-Music - I still love love love music and am currently listening to this "indie" artist (I say that in quotation because I am not confident he is indie, but seems that way to me) Livingston and he is fantastic. I always seem to find the songs that hit at the right time. 

- BOOKS - I have found the love again for reading and am reading all the things from murder mystery, to fantasy with spice ... you name it. 

- Work is, work but I love the people I work with and so ... there is that. 

Spring is spring into action and I am completely blissful with the fact that winter is on it's way out. I hate winter. 

I am sure there is more... but I won't know until my drive home.

I have heeded my own advice

I have stopped for what feels like a minute.  To take stock, to focus to do all of the required and cliche elements to slowing down and what I can tell you, they are not for me.  Slowing down requires you to actually stop, and I feel like I physically cannot do it, nor does time allow it.  My children have not slowed down with their exploits, nor has time actually slowed down for me to appreciate things, so I speed along with it.  Grayson is losing all of his teeth... he has caught up to Sterling in that regard and goodness, that child is 8 going on 20. He wants to be big so fast that it is alarm at what he is attempting to learn and accomplish, and completely by himself.  He is staunchly independent, like his parents, and all the while they grow and learn at an unfathomable rate.  I don't know who wrote it but I have heard this quote go around that "time is a thief" and when I was younger I didn't really fathom that, I sure do now. My little humans are not...

Coming back into the fold...

 I have been absent. It has been due in part to life getting busy. Busy with the kids, with jobs, and with living. But that doesn't change the fact that I have stories to tell, well not necessarily stories, but perceptions and observations to unfold for me and share with a couple of people who might feel the same.  My life has been upside down lately. Over the last few years, we have seen a lot of change and loss. But we have also evolved with the good too. The children are wonderful, growing into amazing and unique human beings and that is a wonderful thing to bear witness to. We have been spending time with our people and just generally loving life.  However, that love of life doesn't just come with one emotion, but all of them. Autumn is usually a transitional time where things go back to sleep and return to the earth to wait until a spring awakening. It is also a time for reflection and change, and well, our fall was all about that. I had moved into a new position (no...

3 years

 3 years of feelings, of joys and triumphs you have missed.  3 years of laughs, of plans, and of trips. We would have wanted to share the experiences with you, and yet you marched out into the great beyond, setting a path for all of us to follow one day. Mom, you were a trailblazer in that regard. The hole you left in our lives is not smaller but somehow we have grown around it. We keep space for you but we are growing and changing everyday.  Things I wish I could tell you: - I turned 40. You were amazed when I was turning 37 and somehow 3 years went by and now I am 40.  - Grayson and Sterling have grown and are little dudes now with all of the humour and ridiculousness that they seem to muster. You would be in stitches for the things they say.  - Sophia has two more years and then she is off to post-secondary. How they hell did that happen so quickly. Your Diva misses you.  - Dad is going on a trip with us and has helped us significantly. You would not app...
