Lately I’ve been feeling all kinds of emotions. Highs and lows, ups and downs all with tears and laughter. I can’t believe that I’m a little over a month from the end of my teaching career. There are moments of unsureness and moments of excitement. I know this is all in God’s time and without a doubt I know I’m on the right path of my journey. The future is full as is my past full of so many memories. I was blessed that I became a teacher, blessed that God didn’t answer my prayers for a different path in life and blessed that I’ve watched all the kids grow, graduate and move on.
This past weekend I got to watch my husband reunite with other Air Force Veterans from Germany. I knew this time in his life was special to him but to see it in person and watch the love was amazing. They were all young kids in a foreign country and this family took them in and loved them. They look at this family like a second set of parents. It was bittersweet because some of them are gone. Life moves so fast and without notice of ending. I hope that they can meet up again before more are gone. It’s hard to understand the sacrifice our active military make. It was an honor to be a spectator of this reunion.
While I was gone Doc’s held its monthly sidewalk sale and boy did Blue Happy get hit hard. I will be refueling the booth with all new things all this week. I was so tired after driving 7 hours home on Sunday so nothing got finished. I’ll be hitting my studio hard this week so the booth is all filled up by next Saturday. Come back next Saturday to see all the new items and grab them before they are gone.
All the amazing things happening in my life makes “my cup runneth over”. Someone told me this weekend that they loved that I laugh at myself and for that they loved meeting me. So many bad things happen to us. We have to make a choice. We can pull up our boot straps and run or we can sit down and cry. I have decided to run with intent, passion and be a dreamer. Call me crazy, but I don’t want to get to that moment you know it’s over or worse gone without knowing and say “I wish I would have” or “I should have, would have and could have”.
