Happy Summer!!!

Dog Days of Summer have begun Most working moms are exhausted this time of year. The kids are over school. The uniforms have holes in them and the book bags are held together with duct tape. And then, just like that, Memorial Day comes to help us cope with what we have to do. It gives us a reprieve to prepare for the summer--a less structured life filled with longer nights and more fun.  

Wordless Wednesday: Pay Attention to Life's Beauty

Breathtaking View

As a working mom it is easy to allow your things to do list to consume you. Indeed, I sometimes go through life with blinders on and fail to notice the beautiful world in which I live. Fortunately, I am sometimes forced to pause.

Pay Attention to Life's Beauty


A couple of weeks ago while driving to a presentation I had to stop for road construction. My first instinct was to complain about the delay. However, I turned my head to the right and saw this breathtaking view.
It reminded me that life contains delays, detours, and sometimes derailments. While we may not be able to control those, we can decide to enjoy the journey. It also reminded me to never forget that the splendor of God is all around me. And if I stop complaining long enough to pay attention I just might get blessed!
