Blogging . . . hmmmm

     Do you know how many blogs that I have started and/or published?  27.  Of those, I have published 16.  It makes you wonder.  I eagerly await new posts from those I follow.  They are cool!  They have cool pages and cool ideas . . .  sigh.  Perhaps it is the perfectionist in me.  I was never one who embraces stream of conscience writing.  Perhaps that is why I have more started blogs than finished. 
     I have a theme.  I even experience that theme more often than I write about.  I mean, if you are constantly looking for blessings, it really isn't that hard to find them. 
    Keeping that in mind, what is a blessing that I had today?  (And perhaps I will make that my goal; to write about a daily blessing.   Hmmm, maybe a weekly blessing would be more reasonable!)
     Let's see. . . Ahhh!
     This afternoon, S. woke up from his nap early.  So I called around my group and found someone willing to go to the park with me.  We were only there for about 40 minutes but that was enough.  That may not seem like a lot but if you are a stay at home parent, it is a big deal.  Even if you are not a stay at home parent, it is a big deal.  That hour or 2 until the spouse comes home can really drag.  The whining that you listened to all day, the chores you didn't get done, trying to make dinner while listening to that children's show that you have heard so often that you can repeat it word for word because it is on EVERY DAY and it is like a song that never ends, never ends, never ends. . .
