A woman I greatly admire said recently that
"when you open an email (or FB for that matter) you are inviting that person into your living room."
So in light of that idea she is careful to not open her
email too early in the morning. Because, well,
it can quickly get crowded.
This
blew
me
away.
How often have I opened an email and let a pre-occupying thought or controversial post enter my home,
my sacred space,
and change the direction of my attitude and quite possibly my entire day? Too often. That being said those of you I adore and care deeply for will be more than welcome to enter my home electronically after my heart and home are prepared.
Who are you letting into your living room early in the morning?
Do they stay long? Happy thinking!
I have contemplated publishing many of the back posts that were partially written, or needed just "one more photo". And while the discussion isn't completely closed at the moment the decision has been made to pick up here and post in the present.
The absence from blogging has been drawn out longer than necessary because of the countless excuse posts I have written in my head. As a child I was known to be able to sell "ice cubes to Eskimos" if you have heard that saying. It means that I am a good sales person, but in that vein an expert at explaining anything away or into existence, depending on the situation. A trait that was supposed to set me on the path of a lawyer in training and one that now I work hard to expunge from every crevice of my being.
With that confession being made, we have missed blogging and look forward to returning!
Here is a peek at what we have been up to in our absence:
 |
| Sweet days of summer coming to a close |
 |
| New treats and experiences in this town we call home |
 |
| Brotherly love blossoming |
 |
| Planned a 2nd Birthday for our little Sir... |
 |
| And executed a party... |
 |
| Family Time |
 |
| Fellowship with those we are privileged to call Friend |
 |
| Milestones for our littest |
 |
| Baking. Lots of baking |
 |
| Less of this... |
 |
| ...and more of this |
and an abundance of
Thankfulness

Happy Weekend!
Happy Monday ?
Blogger was down this weekend, starting I think around Friday, maybe Thursday night. As I found myself getting more agitated by the minute over not knowing when it would be back up and running I realized I need a system for backing up my blogs. I have many blogs that I have written in word, but they don't have the images inset as I usually do that in blogger. Lately however, laziness has popped up its ugly head and many posts are written strictly on blogger.Ugh, just confessing that makes my skin crawl. So I am wondering, fellow bloggers or internet journalers,
how do YOU organize and backup your blogs?
Looking forward to your ideas and suggestions!
(Isn't that a great Monday image? Made me laugh out loud!)
