In my favorite poem by Robert Frost, Nothing Gold Can Stay, he reminds us that like the seasons of nature, life is one season melting into another, and quickly fading away. This is my attempt to document each season in my life and my family.

Life is Good

Filed under: General — Rachel at 10:32 am on Thursday, July 26, 2007

I am so happy to be alive today. Really I am. Life is good. God is good.

Honestly…my cup is running over.

I’m sure some of you are wondering where those super great posts I promised are. Well, they are coming, I assure you. I have thought about them a great deal, but just haven’t been able to quell the skipping in the sunshine all joyful and full of freedom long enough to sit down and blog them. That, and my husband is home. He’s off from work for a few days, and he is making the most of them. Monday, he took the older kids to Dollywood while I stayed home with Owen and cleaned up the house a little (a very little). Tuesday, he took the kids all day while I finished all of my homework. Yesterday, we went to Knoxville and I got my very own military id card, and of course had church last night. Today, we’re going to the Aquarium. This military thing has it’s perks. We can go to all of the Ripley’s attractions in Gatlinburg…including the aquarium whose regular price pass is nearly twenty dollars…for less than ten. Pretty cool! So, we’re doing family stuff while he’s off. I think he goes back to work tomorrow, though, so I will be blogging to my little heart’s content.

In the meantime, there will be much skipping and singing, and maybe even a little bit of bouncing if I can’t contain myself.

Hmmm… sounds a little like outrageous, contagious head turning joy to me. ;)

Careful now, if you’re cup keeps running like that you might splash some on the rest of us.

Hey Rach! I definitely have some catching up to do. I still have two parts of your ‘Adventure Series’ to read. :) I’m so glad things are going good for you! Btw, we’re going to the aquarium tomorrow with Jonathan and Becky, then to a Smokies Game (if it doesn’t rain). We love the aquarium. The college used to go there at the beginning of every year.

Amy, it does kind of sound outrageous, doesn’t it? :)

Joy, have fun at the aquarium. You should have seen Owen. He loved it. :)

Oh, so sweet! I just love it when God fills my cup like that! It really makes you stop a moment to soak it all in. I am so happy for you!
