Life is painting a picture, not doing a sum. -Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

Life is one brush stroke at a time. It is not a score card. 

9/24/2013 the day after Mark's birthday.

Grateful for Mark's 17th birthday. Grateful for the gift of his life. Grateful for all the lessons he has taught me and all I have been given through him. I might not be doing what I am doing if it wasn't for him. Thank you for his logical brain. I adore him. Thank you for his adorable teen age self. 

Sit loosely in the saddle of life. -Robert Louis Stevenson

I love the quote above. 

I am grateful for seeing FER in RVA and going to the street art fair. 

I am grateful I went to Marie's house Nd played Bunco. 

I am grateful I didn't sleep well but don't feel exhausted. 

Thank you God for this life. 

9/2/13

I am grateful we went camping in the mountains and had a delightful time, grateful for a day of rest after the adventure, and grateful it is the first day of school tomorrow... I am ready for a super school year.
