Dec.08/13 Day of rest and relaxation

today was spent in my comfy shorts/pj's and just taking it easy to rest up for a busy week I'm expecting to come. I was exhausted by last weeks activities and yesterday's fun at Carm's farm. Today I got to speak with both my girls and shared a few words with my son. All really good stuff for me today. Then I got to watch my CSL Service at 11am. It was a wonderful and powerful service. I love listening to Jonathan when he speaks. He is an extremely passionate teacher and I for one am so totally captivated that I have no concept of time passing. I am always left with wanting to see and hear more. So much more. Tried to send Kris a copy but had problems so told her how to get to it. She'll let me know if she gets it and again after she watches so we can talk about it hopefully.

Spent a very large part of the day FB'ing with Carm about so many things. Carm is in a difficult place emotionally right now and we talked alot about where she's at, how she's feeling and what she thinks she'll do about it. I hope I have been able to help her even just a little with my words or experiences. She has become a friend to me and I want to be the best I can be to help her. Time will tell. I just really hope that our friendship continues and possibly grows stronger over time. She is very intelligent and funny and fun. And I do know I've help her were sports are concerned. Those are things that she has not had any experience in ever.

Talked a bit with Kris earlier this evening. She had an excellent weekend full of love and joy with her son and his adult cousins. Loved hearing about all that were doing and seeing the pics she put out. So happy for her. Her only bad time came when Jack threw a totally out of control tantrum after his soccer game this afternoon. He did not want to leave and for the first time asked when he could go home to his dads because he wasn't getting what he wanted. Oh I so remember those episodes when my kids were so young and small. So gut wrenchingly painful for any mom and most likely any dad tool.

So showered and put out my stuff for tomorrow's early call out and watched TV until bedtime and read my book.

Again, as always now, I have so much to be grateful for. And every day my gratitude grows wider and stronger for every one I know and love or don't love. Lifes value is growing stronger within me for every person I meet every day.
