This weekend {Friday.. is technically the weekend..right?} I was laying in my bed thinking about many things, while watching Netflix with my honey. My mind was going in several directions but mostly thinking about life, and how precious it is, and Aaron. If you follow me via Twitter or FB you know, I lost a classmate I went to Middle School and High School with, which was of course unexpected at 32 years of life. His parents sadly had to bear the loss of his brother 17 years ago, and now Aaron. My heartbreaks for his parents. Although I haven’t kept in touch with Aaron over the years, I can tell you he’s a good man, and growing up he was such a gentleman.
My weekend was truly a weekend of reflection and appreciation for life. I’m happy for every minute I have here, and grateful for all that life has given me. While I was thinking of all these things while I was suppose to be watching a movie with my honey, my amazingly awesome friends on Twitter were cheering me up. I love those tweeps!
Then I got this tweet for Mishmash Mama about #OSBlog Old School Blog. I was happy to read her post, which is one of those old school answer the questions and pass it on…. remember those? I use to receive those via email all the time back in the day, you know when the internet made that noise when you logged in?
Reading her Old School post was a much needed distraction, Shannon is so funny, sweet and sincere>> Love her! In Shannon’s post I was surprised to read she would like to see my answers to the #OSB Link-up 🙂 And well I’m not one to step down from a challenge, so challenge accepted!
- Being a mother/wife- family is so important to me, I do everything for them.
- Helping others. I love to help others it’s kinda what I do… I’m a Mommy for pete’s sake. If you need my help I’m there, and most likely will put my needs behind for you.
- To help people realize their effects on this Earth especially my kiddos. I cannot stand when people don’t consider their ecological footprint on our planet.
- Peace. If you haven’t figured it out by now I’m a hippie. I’m all peace & love. If I could build bridges all day I would. I hate the divide. It seems we have too much divide these days….
- America’s Team! Cowboys!! {yes, she did}
- See all three of my babies monumental life achievements (graduation, college,marriage, career advancement, babies, that kind of stuff)
- Travel more (see below)
- Write a book
- Create an art charity for children whose parents are in the service. I grew-up Army and married Army, I’ve been the-child-of-a-parent-who-went-to-war, and the-mother- of-a-child-whose-parent-went-to-war. Writing, drawing, coloring, painting, etc., help funnel the child’s thoughts into something creative, while allowing the child to express his or her feelings.
- I’d love to have a little farm, and have all my babies live there and experience farm life.
