Stuff

I just got home from Photoshop class...which got me rooting through my thousands of photos. I love pictures of my kids in the garden...don't know exactly why, but I like their feel. I am loving taking this class. Sometimes the guy says stuff that goes way over my head, but I don't seem to care, I just want to soak it up and learn. Boy, school is so different when 1.) I actually enjoy the subject matter, 2.) there is no pressure of a test, and 3.) I get to immediately apply what I've learned to something real... Other stuff; Thank you all for your comments (on the blog, in emails and in person) on "having three". Everyone at least laughed, which was really the point. Many of you asked if the woman's column helped our decision making process one way or the other. Unfortunately, no. But it did make us realize that if we do actually decide to have a third, a really good sense of humor must be present in order to survive! Our decision changes daily, no make that hourly. This afternoon we had our attorney run down all the costs associated with a third and we walked out saying "no way"...but you see, right now, they are both sleeping and we think "well, maybe?" Either way, our life is good...it's all good. One last thing tonight... It rained today (at least here it did). And I love rainy days. I find something so cozy and comforting about a rainy day. I am most productive on rainy days. When I see them coming on the weather channel, I quietly look forward to them! I know I am in the minority, but I found this little quote that is kind of a "look on the bright side" kind of quote that I thought appropriate today... I will greet this day with love in my heart. And how will I do this? Henceforth will I look on all things with love and be born again. I will love the sun for it warms my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit. I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars. I will welcome happiness as it enlarges my heart; yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due; yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge. ~Og Mandino
