There are so many ways I could finish that sentence, and I think I might use that as a theme for a series of blog posts over the next couple of months. But as for today, I AM: Alone. 

Drummer Boy and the girls went away for the weekend to camp with 2 other families from our neighborhood. They had a fun time at Jellystone Park. There was a pool, waterslides, putt-putt golf, and Yogi's birthday party, along with all the typical campout stuff like a campfire, smores, songs and skits, etc. They had a blast! And I had the weekend all to myself. I spent most of the time with my mom having a garage sale. It was a beautiful day on Saturday and there were alot of people out. It was a very enjoyable day. Then in the afternoon I took care of some things that have been on my "to do" list for a while, and in the evening I scrapbooked. 

The best part about the weekend was that I had time to think. Just think, contemplate, wonder. It takes a little bit of solitude to clear my mind enough of the busyness so that I can just sit and think. I am so thankful for the weekend. I'm thankful for the solitude. I'm thankful for the time and the peace and the quiet. I'm thankful that my God loves me enough to make it possible for me to have those things. It fills my heart and my spirit and I know that I AM: Blessed.
