I will not forget.

Today is NOT just like any other day.

I will remember all those lost 8 years ago today...I am thankful for all those who serve and protect this country every single day...I am praying for all them and their families.

I will NEVER forget.

God Bless America.

ME: the abridged version

I am starting an online class today over at Big Picture Scrapbooking. It is Cathy Z’s – ME: the abridged version. I love Cathy Z – she is witty and funny, very down to earth and her writing and scrapbooking style just speak to me. She keeps it casual and simple and that SO works for me! I know I don’t really scrap much about myself in my layouts so it seemed like this would be a good class for me.

Unfortunately, as I am going into this class, I seem to be surrounded by this “funk fog” – you know the kind…where you just feel sad, nothing seems right…things in my life seem so uncertain these days and I am having a hard time letting go of things I can not change. I struggle with the unknown…wondering where we will be in the next year or two. Chances are good that we will have to move at some point and that weighs heavily on my mind. We were so blessed to move into our dream home a few years back but then, as luck would have it, life took a turn we just really didn't expect. It’s not all bad really, but it makes it tough to find that little bit of security sometimes. Do you know what I mean? Maybe not.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching Cathy’s video this morning – thankfully it was a quiet day at the office so I was able to watch at my desk this morning, sipping on my coffee. I love how she has broken things down and made this project seem just a little less overwhelming – I have hope that I may actually complete it! Something I am not very good at. I can start a project like nobody’s business – but then there always seems to come a point that I have a hard time getting past and then the project goes unfinished. Thankfully I know will find support with a couple of my roomies at The House of Paper -- there is a thread started on the message boards just for us who are taking the class…not to mention the message boards in the classroom at BPS. Surely I can do this…and find my way out of this “funk fog” as well…
