Today we are sitting watching NFL football and reminiscing about our Football team, the Seahawks. It’s been a few years since we haven’t been at a playoff game or had a game to watch during the playoffs. It’s great to be a good team but it takes constant work and effort and dynamic adjustments on many levels. Football is the ultimate team sport. The team has to work together as whole in order to win games and even more work to stay on top.

Football is dynamic in the game and even in-between seasons. Our team, the Seahawks, have seen so many changes. We’ve seen a lot stay the same as well. But if things that are dynamic and things that are static don’t groove together, you struggle. That is what happened this season. This is also what happens over time with relationships and families as well.

So many things are static but yet so many things are dynamic in life. It’s great if your loving the things that don’t change but if you are one who wants to embrace the dynamics of change and live with one who does not it can cause difficulty and struggle. The key is balance in life and football. There will always be change and there will always be things that stay the same. You cannot always affect them, be it to change or keep them the way you want.

We must, in order to be happy, embrace it all. Look for the things you love in every situation. Savor the passing moment as you are not guaranteed to have it again as much as you wish or want to or even try to keep it you will never get it back. It’s always good to remember what works, but realize you may not be able to duplicate it and that is okay. Change is really the only constant in life and change is not constant.

Acceptance, love, appreciation for the good is what we need to focus regardless of it’s what we think we want or need. Search for the good focus on the good enhance the good and put in hard work to affect change in the way you want it to go. If you don’t get the results you want, change is coming so don’t let it get you down!

Here’s to a better you, a better family, and a better football season, in 2018. It will take to perseverance to sustain and faith to change what needs to change.

Today is/was my dad’s birthday. He today would’ve been 76 years old. If you didn’t know my dad past away January 2000 from a brain tumor from Metastasized Lung Cancer. I miss my dad a lot. I’m sad for so many things I have done that he never got to see.

He did not get to see the Girl ever. She was so pretty when she was born. She is getting g ready to start Jr High in September. I have shed a few tears in the last few days after the last elementary assembly where she was awarded a Global Thinker and Caring award as well as a Presidential Award for Academic Excellence. How did she turn out so good? I am so proud. He never got to meet her or the Boy.

I know he would be proud and I know he was in a lot of pain from his illness when he died. However, I can’t help but be sad that I don’t have a Dad who can see what I have become and what my children have become and be proud and then he would tell me. I know, selfish.

I am going to do my best to not leave my family early, and do my best to take in every moment. I am never sad for passing moments and milestones with my kids, I am proud of them and I try to be there to take it a in. You can slow down or turn back time. You can only enjoy the moment while it is here. Right now, I am enjoying it all. Life is crazy and busy and sometimes turned upside down but I love every minute. Without passing of time you don’t have memories to sit back and be fond of. I love my family, I live my life. I am proud of my kids. As well as proud of my husband and and I for staying out of the way enough for them to have turned out pretty well!

I miss my dad, but I know everything about him even him dying when I was 21 has shaped me to be the person I am. I miss him I am sad my kids could never meet him, but I am happy I had him for 21 years and Thankful for him.

Today as I write we are in the midst of what I am calling operation surprise a friend. They Boy has been asking for his buddy to spend the night all week. I kept forgetting to ask his mom and then I got a text inviting The Boy to his buddies Surprise birthday. Since the boy is horrible at keeping secrets I told her I wasn’t going to tell him until Saturday, that is when she got the idea to do this. So I am waiting on a phone call from Friends mom to let me know when to “come to pick the Friend’s bag” that he forgot….

Tonight The Girl is at a friend’s house and the Boy is  obviously going to a friends house so The Hubs and I are going out on a real date. Our anniversary is this coming Wednesday so I told the restaurant we are celebrating our anniversary! We have been married almost 15 years we can celebrate an Anniversary Week/or two Anniversary Weekends!

This week, with our anniversary coming up and football starting and thinking of school starting soon (and working more hours at both jobs than I want to right now) I have been kind of nostalgic. As we get older and years go by you realize these moments don’t last forever! You realize that what I have been saying for so long “live in the moment and take it all in” really means something. Some times life seems hard and tedious and and annoying and just plain tough, but we need to realize that these moments are precious and deserve to be savored. Savor every moment and appreciate the milestones, don’t be sad! Enjoy it and live with no regrets. It is a reality that we have to miss some important moments in our kids and family members lives at sometimes but the moments we get to spend together we should make it worth every moment. Live laugh love, take it all in!

I plan to do just that tonight with The Hubs! (haha take it all in double meaning there)

Love your life don’t be sad in the tediousness or frustration in it. Be happy that you have it to live and happy you have those moments that make you crazy because one day you will wish you had more of them!

Love the life you live!!! ALL of it!
