and so it is monday...

and i leave this house on wednesay...
and i thought I was leaving thursday...
so that means getting ready to leave got ratcheted up a few notches...
but , it's not like we are moving all our household goods...
so it's not like a full move-
by a long shot.

I am memorizing Psalm 40 this summer...
as part of turning 40.
it's a beautiful psalm...

my birthday is friday.
FRIDAY
FRIDAY
FRIDAY!

We are also headed to the beach this weekend.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT.
Donald is deep sea diving.
I am not.
Here's to not being shark bait. :D

I am doing a challenge for this week... 30 miles...of walking or running or combo.
I am doing a challenge for june, july and august.
really focused.
because the last year
has been really unfocused.
So this summer is dedicated to movement...and change...and recapturing...
beauty for ashes...it's my life's theme.

I usually try to do a theme with the kids during the summer...
not this summer...not a focused or planned theme...

this summer-our theme, if we have one...
will be THIS DAY...
living each day-full
making the moments-even the small ones, count.
finding joy in the day to day...
seeking happy...

and now, my coffee cup is empty
which means I need to get started on all the other things....

here is too a wonderful week...
and a summer of change....
