Ordinary things

Our life has been just ordinary lately. For example this weekend was spent at home doing whatever we decided to do that moment - housework, napping, reading, planting, rewatching the LSU victory on DVD - just whatever. I love weekends like this one - somehow they seem to restore me. I love busy weekends also - but sometimes busy all week and busy all weekend is just crazy!

I have read three intraspective (not sure of the spelling) books over the past few years - and I really like the most recent one although each one has and continues to teach me some very important lessons. The one I am reading now is "A New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle which is the Oprah book that goes along with the lessons every Monday night. When I first started the book I found it to be very difficult to understand - he outlines so much in the first chapter - but I continued reading it and really like. It's about a way of looking at life and living each moment in life and recognizing your reactions to certain moments in life. It's really life changing.

Only four more days till we leave for North Carolina!!! Can't wait to see everyone there. We are so blessed!
