It's Been A While

Ok, so it's been a while since anything has been posted here.  Well guess what - it's been busy!!! And if women are reading this, they will understand.  In our last Chapters book, "Simply Wisdom" it talked about a balanced life.  As I was typing, I almost typed the word laugh instead of life - I think because I was laughing to myself about a balanced life.  As a group of wonderful women sat around Biggby coffee house this week to discuss the book we talked about this subject.  We talked about having a "focused" life rather than a balanced life because who can balance their lives?

So, as many of you know, my mind races at over 100 miles per hour and the last thing I have (this is Lori writing in case you were wondering) is - what was I writing about?  Oh yeah!  Focus.  So I am going to try today to focus on one aspect of my life with God.  I am going to talk aloud, pray silently, or write down what I am thankful for.  The kids were getting on the bus - thank God (not only that they left the house but also that they are wonderful children and they have good friends and a good school).  I walked into the kitchen and saw the dirty dishes piled from the night before - thank you Lord for food that we can put on our table and feed not only my family but my children's friends that come by.

I don't think I'm the only one that has trouble focusing.  I'm going to try today to focus on being thankful.  I am also thankful for the wonderful girlfriends I have in my life - so thanks to anyone who is reading this!
