Catching Up...

Wow!  I wasn't sure if my blog would still be here....it's been forever since I've had a chance to post...life...it is going on  :D

May is always just one of those crazy, out-of-control, roller-coaster, go, go, go months for us!  It's the beginning of farmer's markets, the Mr.'s job is always full of travel, preschool is coming to an end, and the cows are always needing to get to their summer pastures. 

I'm pleased to say we SURVIVED it all though....the cows are happily spending their time in knee deep waves of green....I gave my last hugs to my amazing classes of 3 year olds this year, 4 weekends of farmers markets down...leaving only 23 more to go, and today, my Mr. is home!

It's hard to believe that next week it will be June...And, I have soooo many things I already want to add to my to-do list  :D  But, I think I should change it a bit.....

Last week, my friend Lindsey (you know from Bales & Tales) posted about investing....it was a great post...if you haven't read it, you most definitely should check it out....anyway, as I read the post, the word she used...INVESTED struck me!    And, the more I think about it, the clearer it becomes to me....that this Summer should NOT be about my to-do list...but, instead about Investing!!!

~ Investing in some time spent catching up with friends I dearly treasure, but rarely get time to just sit and chat with...

~ Investing in helping someone just because
~ Investing in spending more time with our families
~ Investing in making a new friendship
~ Investing in my marriage....More kind words, less assumptions, more listening, less talking, more happy faces, less grumpy ones....
~ Investing more at my Church....
~ Investing more in our home....& sharing it with others... a simple meal & conversation = priceless

Investing...Yep, that's going to be my new motto and word for this Summer!  I'm pretty excited to tear up that to-do list and replace it with my list of investments  :D  Oh, and today, I'm already investing..
..in Me...it's a rare day of "just being", cuddling up with my Mr. & Missy Cat, a little napping, a movie or two, and a thankful heart for ALL the Sweet blessings every single day!    From my little spot to yours...Sweet blessings!
