i've been in a bit of a funk lately.
do you ever get in those?
sure you do.
i have been so
completely
totally
absolutely
utterly
overwhelmed by life.
and i think it's growing
as we get closer and closer to
the big kids going to school
(in less than a month).
little K is off to preschool
(for the first time).
and my sweet D is going to kindy.
man oh man.
how did that happen?
not only how is it august,
but how is it that my first child
is off to school?
real school?
all day school?
how did that happen so quickly?
i get overwhelmed thinking
about all the things that need to get done.
there's so much to do.
all the time.
and i have such a hard time balancing it all.
and getting it all done.
our schedule is changing by the minute
and what i once thought our fall
was going to look like
is actually going to be very, very different.
i think.
i still don't have a clear picture
of what it's going to look like.
but that's okay
(as i tell myself over and over again)
because i don't need to worry about tomorrow.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow,
for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Matthew 6:34
(my to-do list that's more like a to-do pile.
oh, and K's pink golf ball.
obviously.)
but, i decided that yesterday was going to be different.
yesterday would not be filled with the never-ending lists.
sometimes i just need to change the course of my day
and when i take photos,
it usually does the trick.
yesterday was no exception.
yesterday i decided that i was going to
take it all in.
soak it all up.
not let the worries of the world get to me.
and that is what i did.
and it was great.
i know that God is working all of this out
in my heart
because i am a planner to my core.
and this kind of stuff just throws me for a loop.
but it certainly forces me to cling to Him
and cling to the now
and not to the tomorrow.
as much as i so desperately want to.
so while L was in class,
the bigs and i got donuts.
and not just any donuts,
but the best donuts in the entire world.
yes.
the entire world.
Katherine Wolf says that
this is one of her favorite places, too.
(always something on her nose.)
yum.
as i'm typing this up,
i'm wishing i would have gotten a second one to go.
my favorite is the maple bar.
just in case you were wondering.
because i know you were.
i am so so thrilled that
so many of you have linked up!
head over to erin's blog
and read about her day.
because we all have days like that
and it's so refreshing to read about it on the internet!

1 Peter 5:7
1356. running into a nurse of mine. twice!
1357. donuts
1358. new kids' scissors
1359. freeing up computer space
1360. seeing D's eyes sparkle
when he spends
one-on-one time with his dad
