July Festivities -- so far

Here's a few pics from July 4 and our swim day at Aunt Shauna's.

My Time

The house is quiet. Hubby and 13-year old at scout camp. Kids asleep. Dogs asleep. The tv is on but muted. (why does it have to be on? Habit I guess). I was just thinking how peaceful it is right now. I've never been a morning person but since the dogs woke me at 5:30 this morning, I can't go back to sleep. I'm actually enjoying the quiet and dreading when it will end. Don't have many of these moments.

Thinking how thankful I am for all the things in my life. Good friends (was just reading a bunch of blogs), a knowledge of Christ's plan for me, my testimony, a great husband and wonderful kids, and especially my health. Life has been a little fast lately and I need to slow it down and take more time to appreciate. Enjoy. Find peace.

Is that the problem with the world today? We're just too busy to find the peace...
