The Hokey Pokey and other things

Good Afternoon Y'all!
It's 3:09  PM here in the Mid East
and I'm going to
type fast since I have to pick J (formerly known as the Artist)
up from cheer/tumble practice.


First things first...
What do you think of the new design?
I needed a change 
and 
I love what 
Shannon
@
came up with. 
She works fast too. 


Now, 
on to the meat of this post.
Y'all know the hokey-pokey right?
Sure.
We've all done it...
Or so I thought...
Today A and I went to a 
playschool group
and 
aforementioned song/dance was done.

I was surprised to find that 
there were moms there
who didn't know
or 
had even heard of 
the hokey pokey.
Craziness.

It was in this time
that I took a step back
to be present fully 
and 
appreciate the diversity 
surrounding my child and I.
It was 
in that time
that I realized
how special
our being  here really is.

I've written countless hate post about this place.
We all know I have.
I would like to take those all back
as of now.
Today. 
I vow to experience
this place.
The fullness, 
the beauty,
the rare opportunity 
that the Air Force is 
affording for my family.
I'm thankful.
I'm happy.
I am...

and on that note.
I'm off to fully experience the rest of the day.
I hope you can fully experience yours.
xoxo.

Glad that you're making lemonade out of the lemons that you have been given. Love the new design.

Wonderful website! I am new to this site and by all the support and optimistic words you offer and those from other AF Ladies, it makes me feel more at ease with the life me and my husband are about to begin. :o)
