As dad used to say, good music can calm the beast in all of us....I think he is right. Sitting here listening to some good Christian music feels so good...it's like it speaks directly to my heart...giving me the attitude toward others and life that I was created to have. There is always such a peaceful feeling when we focus on Christ instead of ourselves. Listening to this music makes such a difference in the way I view things...the older I get, the more I desire the peace that comes with this. If only I knew then what I know now...? Maybe I could have avoided some of the major bumps of life. Chalk it up to learning from my mistakes I guess.
Speaking of my dad, yesterday was Veteran's Day and I thought of dad so much. I think of him often anyway but thinking of his service to our country brings joy to my heart. He was quite a man...I miss him and wish I could visit with him up in his stokin hot room - trying to talk over the loud volume of his TV...glad he got to enjoy that his last years though! Thanks Bernie & Amy! I am thankful for all the extra years we got to have dad around. Can't imagine how much mom misses him.. Good thing Brooks is there to keep her busy and keep her company.
The Little Mr continues to grow and amaze all of us. Lately he has discovered his voice...and is cooing up a storm! Each day he coos and coos a little more, melting each of our hearts into puddles of mush!
One weekend left of hunting...nothing for any of our guys yet - they have usually slain a big monster buck by this time...so where are they hiding? Probably in all the corn the farmers have NOT been able to harvest yet! Good for the deer I guess! Looking forward to seeing our oldest boy tomorrow as he heads home for another weekend of hunting. Soon those weekends will come to a close as hockey will be in full swing. This will be Brooks' last year of hockey - seems like he has played all his life...guess he pretty much has, starting at age 5. Will we go through hockey withdrawals when it is all said and done? NOPE. I am pretty sure about that. NOPE. Especially Mhd hockey - oh my gosh can't wait til that is over for good! Roseau is soooo much different than Mhd - and SO MUCH BETTER! Glad Brooks gets the chance to experience how it should be and hope he has a wonderful last year...his senior year.
Soon time to watch a new episode of Criminal Minds with my wonderful hubby and son. Looking forward to the weekend as usual. Seems like corporate America has taken it's toll on me. And half of the world!
Nite.
