Time flies

Today it is 6 months. And I have had friends hovering around me all day. I have said many times that I am truely blessed. I am indeed.

I was sent this, and I have no idea where it originated or who the wise soul was who wrote it, but I think it is worth sharing. Whoever you are, you have written something which says everything I wish I could have found the words for, but so much better. Thank you.

Work to change this.

I have been doing some preparation for school, and a friend suggested I use this amazing puzzlemaker website to create puzzles. I don't know if any of you are teachers, but it is such fun!
So, after church with friends, then the babes for tea, followed by more coffee with friends, and getting ready for tomorrow, the day has flown by. I am appreciating weekends a lot more these days. Trying to work out how to fit everything into a normal week is somewhat challenging though. Warp speed doesn't suit me.
