Sigh

I put the kiddo in a truck tonight on his way to yet another camp out. He loves these things, can't get enough of them, and seeing as how the first thing he does when he gets home is showers, I don't think he loves the weekends just because he doesn't have too!

Regardless, it is great to see the kiddo really grow up into his own. It wasn't so long ago that I was helping with the packing, or reminding him of things like Wisps (the only way to have a boy successfully brush his teeth when the mom is not around). Now he packs, including the Wisps and is ready to go. Well, almost, we did have to pick up yet another headlamp.

Guess he still does need Mom reminding him:)

It's a circle

Ever have one of those moments that you are SURE you have done that certain action before, had that conversation or lived that part of your life. Well we all have and this isn't about that.

This is about looking at where you are in life now and knowing somehow that this was the way it was supposed to be. I am not referring to life as a whole, rather certain circumstances. There is a reason things happen when they do just as there is a reason why they happen and why they happen the way they do.

Today, while standing over a tire filling it with air and laughing with an old friend about how we just had to make it so far down the road I got the calming feeling that this was the way things were always supposed to be regardless of how we got there.

Just a thought, something to ponder as you are yelling at the traffic or getting frustrated with what life isn't giving you when you want it:)

Inner hall monitor - oh yes, you have one.

In movies, cheesy ones, there is always some sort of angel on one shoulder and devil on the other.

I have this habit, every day I read my horoscope (that I call horrorscope) late afternoon for a laugh. Well today it told me to listen to my inner hall monitor or something would happen, yada yada yada. As an adult, we spend most of our time listening to our inner hall monitor on what is right and what is wrong. There shouldn't be a grey and yet...I made the comment that I silenced that monitor years ago, and that really isn't true - I still err more on the side of caution and pleasing others than taking a chance and pleasing myself.

It's the old angel and devil scenario in living color. Who do you find yourself listening too more often?
