Simplicity is Key

So I have been giving a lot of thought lately on going to night school and getting a degree in something. Well...The verdict is in. I don't think I will until the kids are older. I just don't have the time, or energy to work full time and sacrifice my precious time to sit in a classroom. It boggles me how some people do it.

Independence Day

Another 4th of July in the works! Every year I think about the look in the kids' eyes when they got to watch a fireworks show. Now they are all older, it makes me miss it even more. I suppose one day I'll have grandkids to take in their place. Isn't that just like life? You take advantage of the little things that eventually you will miss. Not thinking at the time, "I should enjoy every second of this, because it won't last". It's a good reminder to me to embrace all this life has to offer. Because someday, I will miss this very moment.
