I'm making my own weekly planner. I use the Groove calender for the on-line syncing of my life with dh. For my own thoughts, I've found that I like a physical planner. I'm trying to pull everything together into one little book. I've got my artwork, my munchkin's artwork, my teaching schedules, cleaning schedules (at least I'm trying...), pages for writing inspiration, drawing inspiration, sports schedules, quotes, thoughts, birthdays, breaks,and everything in-between.
There is so much more to life though. So much happens between the lines, instead of the scheduled projects, in spite of the best intentions, and for our own good.
"For our own good" the phrase that means growing up, if we are willing. I have to decide to make myself willing to do the growing up. Not the "getting old and thinking stiff" kind of growing up, but rather the "making people around me more joyful" kind of growing up. Do you have to decide that as well? Are you willing to do that too? I have friends who are, friends who aren't, and friends who would love to see me grow even more. I hope you have friends who want you to grow up too.
Everywhere I've looked for a week, it's been white. Fluffy, cold, and falling. Snow sticking's a bit unusual up here. Always melting before the real play could begin. But this time, it's simply added layer to layer, like east of the Cascades.
I don't know how to drive in it in the least. So, I've been home, home, home, and of course, busy with the camera. As you look up the road, it's beautiful, mirrored by the view down the road. We did make it out one day to get a tree for Christmas. As we drove up the drive at our friend's home, we had a view of their pines lining the way. It was so still, so peaceful.
Once there, we had a Narnia moment with the snow swirling around their lamp post.
I'm sure you are all wondering where your surprises are and when they might arrive. They are all finished, waiting for their packing up and a break in the snow to go to the post office. They are darling, if I say so myself,...and red.
