I am grateful I had such a nice Sunday evening with my family, siblings and parents at the park on a picnic. I felt loved and surrounded by my family. Having church friends there was fun, too.

I am full of birthday cake and milk.

I made it through all the appointments and lugging kids around town in the heat without losing my patience today.

I have a stack of novels to read.

I feel like I have purpose and direction.

I am getting used to having bangs. My hair was almost down to my elbows, so this is a drastic change. People are not running into me with mouths agape, so it must not be as startling as it first seemed to me.
