Another Year

If we really love ourselves, everything in our life works. ~Louise Hay

Another year has come and gone.  Obviously, I'm not measuring time in the "traditional" sense.  Today is my little girl's  4th birthday.  Her actual birth is still fresh in my mind, but she's changed so much in the past 4 year.  She's gone to a helpless newborn to a strong willed, self proclaimed princess.  For the first time since I  have had kids, I'm throwing a party.  No one had ever asked for one, so I never put one on.

This weekend has been busy.  I went to the fair with one friend on Friday, had a different friend over yesterday to play Magic, and I have 5 kids and 3 parents coming over today for the party.  I haven't had much downtime, and the downtime I have had has been filled with racing thoughts.  Wondering why certain things have happened, and about what is to come in the future. 

Obviously I haven't done well with mindfulness this weekend.  I'm going to have to kick it into high gear tomorrow.  Until then, I'm going to ride the wave of madness, and deal with sugared up kids.
