This Life

My Life

My precious life, I live each day,
I work so hard, and try to play.
A simple, meaningful, conversation,
Leads to joy, and true sensation.

Occasionally confronted, with a struggle,
Countless emotions, simultaneously juggle.
Sometimes I win, sometimes I fail,
No matter what, there's always a tale.

From my life, I'll never hide,
Loving the journey, with every stride.
Wherever I go, one thing I'll take,
Smile of joy, each day that I wake.

This poem kind of describes how I have been feeling! " We work so hard...confronted, with a struggle, 

Countless emotions, simultaneously juggle". We can allow life to become so busy that sometimes it is hard to see beyond the busyness! It becomes so easy sometimes to see just the hard work and the struggles.. And then we miss many blessings like "  Loving the journey, with every stride " and the " Smile of joy, each day..." Life will be busy sometimes but, it is still a good life an we are so blessed!

Weekend Getaway

 This last weekend we ran off to San Diego to take a little break and relax! We hadn't really done anything yet for our 2 anniversary either! Also went to go see the Grandparents who where there! We left first thing Friday morning and went to the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center. Toured around there, watched a couple of Imaxes, and walked the beautiful grounds of Balboa Park where the science center was located. Went on a harbor cruise in the afternoon and ate Dinner at an Italian restaurant that was right on the waters edge!
 Saturday we went to the San Diego Zoo and then in the afternoon we went for a walk a long the ocean at  Mission Beach! Got to Grandpa's in time to go have Dinner with them. Spent the evening relaxing with them and playing games in our hotel room.
 After breakfast on Sunday we visited in their room for a while and the took them across Coronado Bridge and to Imperial Beach where, even tho it was really windy, we got out for abit! Went back to hotel and had Lunch with them yet and then left! We had planned on coming right home, however, we had a bad tire so got that changed and then headed home! Drove thru some awesome mountains that where half hidden behind mist an rain! Was beautiful!!
 Was so good to just relax again and also to see Grandpa's! Now it is back to work tho..
