I'm Still Here

Dang, I'm terrible at posting these days.  I feel like there are so many things happening and none of them very positive so instead of complaining or being negative I've chosen to not blog for a bit.

I'm sad that's its already August and it seems as though the summer has flown by and I feel like I wasted it - haven't done a lot of fun things recently but August is also a big birthday month, both in my family and with my friends.  So having said all that, I have either a birthday party or wedding to attend for the next several weekends so it will be good to re-connect with people I don't get to see much these days.

Yesterday was my niece Lauren's birthday - she turned 4.  If you guys know me at all, you know how much I love this child and how much she loves me.  My sister always jokes that she's my daughter because whenever I'm around, she wants to sit with me or I have to do everything for her.  We are celebrating her birthday this weekend, so I'll save her birthday post for later as well as some pics from the party.

I wanted to share a blog with you that my dear friend Pam writes.  She's been posting a lot about shame lately, and let's just say its given me a lot to think about, especially how I have and am still allowing it to rule me in some ways.  Here's the link: she's a wise woman!

Well I realize that this post is pretty dull!  Hopefully, I'll have some fun updates for you in the next few weeks!
