funny

funny enough, i forgot to remind myself that i was getting to my 1 year 'blogiversary'. i mean, i did about 2 months ago. then i forgot. now it has passed. but that's the way it should be. my life isn't about my blog, my blog is about my life. i am thankful enough for the time i have spent noting important and not important events and thoughts in my life. many things have changed and yet most things have not. most especially am i glad i made an effort not to prettify my reality too much. postitivity is great, but i love best looking back at those real moments and remembering my feelings about said moments. in fact, this blog seems to have taken the place of my scrapbooking efforts. because it takes me 10 minutes to write a great post here, and that would only cover the laying out of a few supplies in real life. i haven't given up on scrapbooking, but one important rule is TO KNOW THYSELF (said in official tones). clearly i am a fairly relaxed person, one who doesn't necessarily do things that are overly difficult. unless i think they are REALLY REALLY important. therefore, it is plain to see that i do not feel that regaining my pre-3rd-baby figure is that important. nor is cleaning junk off the kitchen counter every day, though i am trying VERY hard to make myself BELIEVE it is REALLY important. but i do make my bed everyday. i feed the dog everyday. i feed my family from scratch everyday. i read my scriptures almost everyday. i choose not to turn on the tv everyday. and i hug my children and my husband everyday. and i blog about it all often. sometimes often is better than everyday.
