The Year That’s Moving Too Quickly

Last night was our first OSC (Officer’s Spouse Club) meeting of the year. We sat with our calendars and mapped out all the events and meetings for the rest of this calendar year. I am usually really good about all the planning ahead that life takes, but lately I feel like I’m standing on the side of the road watching the cars rush by. HOW did this year go by so quickly? How is it that we have dates for our Christmas parties?! I’m trying to figure out what different frame of mind I’m in, that it’s so difficult for me to grasp the speed at which this year is flying by. I just want to sit for a moment and feel like I can grasp today without worrying about the exact dates of what’s happening for the rest of the year. I guess it just comes down to having to say that I feel rushed and overwhelmed.
Is it just me?
Have a good day~

Pour yourself a nice tall glass of wine, sit back and take a deep breath and look around. You have health, happiness, a BEAUTIFUL family, Clay will be home soon, soon soon and how many times that you worry it always falls into place. This coming year will come and go as long as you don’t stress out to much. Love to all.

I know what you mean. I realized today that I never took Coby for a 5 year check up, haven’t scheduled Jake’s 15 mo., and the weeks do fly by. oh well… I’d rather have it this way though than the other. I just want to remember it all and not forget any of the cool, fun things we do. Sometimes I think of what it will be like when the boys are teenagers someday and thinking back to these days & it makes me realize how much I want to imprint every little moment into my mind & not forget a thing.

Sorry I haven’t been on here in a while. I am caught up now, and just wanted to say after reading the dozen or so entries I needed to in order to catch up, “I LOVE YOU” and “EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT”. Like Carol said, Clay will be back before you know it and things will start moving like clockwork again in time. Just keep saying to yourself, “I’m good enough, I’m smart enough and, doggone it, people like ME”!!!!

Forget about Christmas! Let’s plan your visit for 2009!
We’ll go play in the snow (solidified h20, one of your favorite things!) , visit local establishments that will provide music and beverages (to adults) and relax in the Pacific Northwest!
Now doesn’t that sound good?
This year has gone by in a flash, and it seems to only be going faster. Lately I have been thinking alot about family and time and I really do try to enjoy each moment for what it is and by the grace of God, trust that there will be many more to come. That’s why I plan. It’s my Hope for the future.
I hope to see you very soon.
Many hugs and much love,
