More Stars

* The kids seem to be settling into the school routine. The only hitch I'm aware of is that Emily misses her mama every day during lunch. Not sure why that's her hard time, but it is. I introduced her to the kissing hand today. That's what got Rosemary through the early years of school.
* The wheels are in motion for Rosemary to go on a mission trip to Honduras with her granddad in January. Exciting stuff!
* I took my first walk/run ever in the new neighborhood. It's been so hot! I enjoyed it. Had the opportunity to talk with some neighbors. It was my first run in 6 or 8 weeks. Distance not great, but it was enough to blow out some stress.
* Spent half the morning cleaning out my email inbox and acting on emails that have been on hold. Made much progress, but still have some weeding/tending left to do.
* Actually enjoyed cooking tonight. I make note of that, as it is not an everyday occurrence - neither the cooking nor the enjoyment! Lol!
* I just finished Pat Conroy's new novel. Loved it! No surprises there - I'm a Conroy fanatic. The setting is here in my new hometown. Can't wait to find some time to wander downtown to spot some of the places in the book. I'm a nerd like that!
* Have I mentioned how much I'm loving my new home, my new town, and my new church? Yes? Well I just can't say it enough!
* Eyes are getting heavy. Morning comes earlier during the school year.

Hoping all continues to go well, and yes, keep running - burning off that stress is a good thing to do!

Not sure what the kissing hand is, but it sounds like it must be a great idea...
