... So I won't go on and on and on. (Maybe.)
I'll just say that I am one tired old lady. TIRED.
And to make matters worse, I keep reminding myself about what time it REALLY is. Or what time it would be if we hadn't set the stupid clocks forward.
Please don't call me a complainer. I love love love the fact that it stays light later. I just hate the fact that it's dark when we get up, and I lost an hour of my day.
It messes with my brain.
And that is dangerous.
Now on to much more important things.
For almost a week I've had something on my mind.
Urgency.
The need to live with intention and purpose, while keeping in mind that none of us is promised tomorrow.
As opposed to living like I'm "running around like a chicken with my head cut off." (Which I DO.)
Pretty deep thoughts for a girl who can't get over Daylight Savings Time.
Someone in my Bible study last week told us about the feeling she had when her daughter was about to go away to college. It wasn't a feeling of "I don't want her to go." It was a feeling of "I hope I've done what I was supposed to do to make sure she's ready for the realities of this life." That thought has stuck with me all week.
Have I said and done the things that matter? That really matter?
Have I thanked people?
Have I treated people with respect?
Have I made certain my son knows why we do and say the things we do and say?
Have I been the example I need to be? In EVERY situation?
So many days I feel like I'm just "going through the motions." And I don't want that to be reality.
Now. I need a nap.

Great post -- I've had the same things going through my mind - prob because I'm staring into the jaws of children leaving home and trying to figure out who I am still!
And I too HATE daylight savings time! So tired....
I can say you've lived an example. I still hear you and Dan in my head from time to time. Just yesterday someone asked me why I was a good kid. I explained to them how I was active in church and you and Dan were so influential. I love y'all.
