Learn to live.

The month of May has been quite amazing; it has moved so quickly and I have my foot on the accelerator, so to speak. As i hear of graduation plans coming up next week, I am glad to have one more year at home with my youngest:)

Jordan's been organizing pictures and working on updating my blog, in order to expand it and for readers to access it more easily. As he pulls up pictures of each of us in the last 7 years, the change is startling. I don't even recognize myself........... and the kids have all grown. Their dad would be proud.....

My youngest has lost some time in learning practical things without him here, and because of our LA lifestyle. We are going to make sure he is equipped as best we can to take on tasks. Austin is able to figure some stuff out, having had his dad around a bit longer. Chynna is just plain resourceful, and Jordan is pretty much a genius, ha ha. Trying to learn from each other.

I actually impressed Jordan today, as I push to get the painting job done in my office. My goal is to finish up tomorrow night and move back in early next week! I will be starting fresh, transforming it from the former shared work space for our business, into finally, what will be all my own..............

Goals are good; plans are purposeful; however, they can get in the way of spontaneity, creativity, and actually living. There are so many people who plot out their future course, stick to it, and do not veer off of it. Even at young ages, adventure takes a back seat to too much practicality sometimes. 
We need to live a little bit more, and learn to enjoy it........
