"If you are a dreamer come in
If you are a dreamer a wisher a liar
A hoper a pray-er a magic-bean-buyer
If youre a pretender come sit by my fire
For we have some flax golden tales to spin
Come in!
Come in!"
— Shel Silverstein
I am a dreamer. This has always been one of my favorites by one of my all time most loved poets.
Let's take a moment and be childlike. It makes the world much more fun!

Crazy Girls
The things you do with your sister and daughter. I actually found my shark helmet quite comfortable. I was hesitant to remove it, but thought I probably should since I wasn't going to be purchasing said helmet.
Yes, me being the shy individual that I am, asked a total stranger to photograph my sister, my daughter, and myself in the middle of Target. She gladly took Deb's iphone and well, you see the amazing results. Amelia looks a bit wary of us. Not sure why. One day she'll look back at this and be very happy that she sported the look along with us.
Good times with some crazy girls!

Searching
I find that I am searching. Searching for something. I think it is peace, stress free days, not worrying about mundane stuff.
I sometimes wonder what I would do if we won the lottery. Would I be stress free then? No money worries, no wondering about the economy and the possiblities of jobs not being there.
I am not sure that is the answer to everything. I know that ultimately my search for peace is met by God. That is the only way I can truly experience it. I've been reading and reaffirming my faith lately. Knowing that I am not alone in this world is the most comforting thing I've ever felt.
I picked up medical records for Mike from his neurologist's office on Monday. Reading those really brought back our ordeal three years ago. I knew then that he would be O.K. I had the strength that I could only get from God. Those times are a blur when I try to think about everything that went on. It is almost surreal...like it didn't happen to us. Yet, I know it did.
I still need God. I still need His strength and love. Everyday. I need this to keep going.
I read some of my Nana's poetry recently. I love how her words are so joyous and in praising God she found her joy and peace. That is how I want to find mine as well.
