Slurping Life

the happiness of jumbo crayons

...happiness is something you create...

  

a box of jumbo crayons is a good place to begin

skinny crayons feel more color-inside-the-lines-ish

 

 

even without the company of chubby toddler fingers

jumbo crayons carry you back to the childhood joy of creating...

flipping open the box top

sniffing the waxy goodiness

running your fingertips across each point

coddling magic sticks in your hand

feeling each carefree stroke on paper

creating anything

creating happiness

:)

it would be inspirational if you shared a link to a little bit of your happiness

SOOC Saturday ~ Absurd

What an absurd amount of energy I have been wasting all my life

trying to figure out how things "really are,"

when all the time they weren't.

SOOC Saturday ~ The Quiet Voice

Courage doesn't always roar.

Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."

"Deep breaths...keep trying"

she said to herself.

SOOC Saturday ~ Enough

The Jonas Brothers were sisters.

My son, Mac, hid in the back making it difficult to photograph him, and his face is purple.

The performance was shot with a wiggly four-and-one-half month old on my lap.

It was the perfect ending to a week of drama camp.

Regardless of the quality of photos and video,

the moments were captured...

and that is enough.

SOOC Saturday [or Sunday]

We hope you'll share.

Constantly Ask

 ...we should think about the fact that time is a zero-sum game.

Things we spend time on inherently take time away from other things.

So constantly ask,

Is this the best and highest use of my time?

~~ Randy Pausch

Wil's Special Olympics weekend post(s) with photos and video is coming soon.

Wil won two silver medals in swimming,

however, swimming is only part of the story.

I will be away from here for a few...

Lee is coming home for a three day/two night visit.

Our family will be hugging, talking, laughing, playing...

and did I mention hugging?

Would you please scroll back up, read the quote again, and constantly ask...?
