Everything has passed...

Derby has come and gone. I was in Illinois visiting family. Oh how much I love my family!

I got to see the kiddos this weekend and just enjoyed seeing their innocence and pure excitement about the small things. I wonder sometimes why we cannot feel the same excitement about the small things. I think about how many blessings are bestowed upon me on a given day and how many times I do not take them in to be anything but pure happenstance. Perhaps my mind needs to travel back to the innocence that Olivia and Luke have. There seems to be no care in the world except to live and be happy and make the most out of it each day.

How many times do I wish for the day to be over? Why would I want something like that when each day is a blessing? Why would I wish for a day to be over when I know that I am going to wake up again the next day and say the same thing.

All that is on my mind right now is Poland and what all I need to get done and packed before then. I feel so pulled on both ends. I need to hang out with some people and other people want to hang out with me. I have work, and I have errands and expenses to take care of as well. It's hard to believe that I have only 2 Posts left. On top of that, one more weekend!!!

Mother's day is Sunday. Possibly going to Churchill Downs. I will be so excited if we go. Horse racing always seems to intrigue me. Why I do not know, but it just does.

There are so many things that I am looking forward to in Poland. Even though there are amazing things going on in Louisville this summer, I know that this summer in Poland will be even better.
