    Happy Kansas Day! Why I think you're not so bad.

    barebishop.blogspot.com
    Happy Birthday Kansas! How I love your beautiful sunrises and sunsets.
    Others always speak so sour of you, but I happen to think you are a great state to live in, despite your never ending flatness, you still have plenty of beauty to appreciate.  You do have some hills, up in your northeast, and some bodies of water at least large enough after record drought to entertain your residents and visitors.

    Of course, who could forget sunflowers, once you see one you know you're in Kansas.
    You never fail to keep us in mystery about what the weather will be like from day to day.  Just when we are sick and tired of freezing cold and blowing wind, you send in a warm, sunny day that keep us from hiding forever.  We love our spring weather in Kansas.  Sure, some of your scenery does disappoint at times, but I do know that you are home to great people, who love family, are willing to help others, who have pride in their homes and communities.  It is the great people of this state that make you a great place to live, and a great place to raise a family.

    The "Fall" I still recall, 8 1/2 years later.

    Myles, in 2005, close to the time
    the fall happened
    It was one of those usual, "unusual" Kansas weather days. A bit of warm weather in the middle of the dead of winter.  Of course, I couldn't wait to open up the house, and let the warm, sweet air in, hoping to release the stagnancy from the central heating running for several months straight.
    My oldest son, Myles, was about 2 at the time.  Old enough to be busy, busy enough to get into trouble.  Old enough for independent play, but still needing supervision.

    I had been on the phone with my Mom.  I don't even remember what we were talking about, but I know that it was something fairly intense or engaging as I had been walking around the living room while talking with her. Myles had just started being able to climb the furniture, and being a boy, was really exploring this.  I saw him get on the sofa that was up against our outside living room wall.  On that wall was a large row of windows:  One large picture window with smaller side windows that slid open to the side.  There are screens on the windows, but I never realized that they simply snapped into place, and assumed they were like the screens on the windows we had on our home growing up that had storm windows on them and were almost impossible to remove.

    My ThredUp purchase, and another Coupon for $10 off

    The ThredUp deal is back. If you missed it the first time and didn't sign up then, this is good for new customers only.  I used my credit and got 3 super cute, perfect condition items for my little one.  I got all three items for under ten bucks! (including shipping!)  They even sent me a postage paid bag ready to ship back some items for credit.  They only thing I dislike so far, is they only take and sell over size 12 months, and up to 12 youth.  But it looks like they are starting to get shoes and accessories in as well.

    Click here to sign up, use coupon code SAVE10 at checkout, good through Friday, January 18th, 2013.

    Having trouble with resolutions? Here's what I resolve.

    What are you going to do today, that is different from yesterday? Or last week?
    Are you waiting on something?
    Are you waiting on someone to do something so that you have to do it?  Maybe you are ready but you are afraid?
    Live without regrets.
    "We choose our joys and sorrows
    long before we experience them."
     {Khalil Gibran}
    Is that even possible?
    Yes.
    Maybe.
    Is there something hanging out in your mind, taking residence shouting at you to do something, but you just keep shutting the door? Don't want to deal with this right now. Maybe later you say.  This isn't a good time.
    I'll get to it on _______.
    New year new you, right?  That is so cliche' this year.  Now it's "Jumpstart January".  ? Is this some new term for "go on your diet this time and do it right this time, and don't mess up this time?"
    Maybe it's Second chance January.   Or third, fourth, fifth times a charm.
    What's your intention?
    I know I'm full of questions.
    this is fun.
    This conversation I am having with myself right now.  I'm good at beating myself up.  Not so good at following through.  Okay, yeah, I have some good ideas. I might even try them out a couple times.  But soon enough, I will be on to something else, something new, distracted by something different.  and further away from my "I'm going to".
    How do you make a plan and stick to it?  Is it really a magic "resolution"?  Unfortunately there's no "magic" in my resolutions and every year I resolve and every year they dissolve.

    I will keep trying.

    This year, though, I decided no more resolutions.  It is theme time.  So my "theme" for this year is "intentional".  Yeah, I so far don't feel too hopeful about that theme. Just the idea of calling it a "theme" instead of a "resolution", completely removes the commitment out of it. I like loopholes. Ask my husband.
    Intentional. It can be used like an excuse, "but I intended for it to work out better". No, I will make the effort and do it. (Done on purpose, Deliberate, Google definition of Intentional.)
    Spend more time with my kids.  Family Game night, do it.
    I will sit and color with my son and listen to him talk about his plans for his birthday next month, no more "just a minute, I'm busy", I will sit and do it.
    Don't fall asleep on the couch at 9:30 every night.  Go downstairs and watch a movie with my husband.  I will just do it.
    Maybe I will find the biggest reward in staying intentional, will not be in being, but in having.  I have a feeling that the payoff for being "intentional" will be huge for 2013.
    Happy New Year!
