The Eid's Have It: Because

Because

Because I wake up every morning with a project to do.
Because I am still unpacking boxes.
Because I may or may not know exactly where my computer is located. Or the remote. Or the spoons. Or the refrigerator…
Because the weather has been too nice to sit down after dinner and before bedtime.
Because moving stinks.
Because life is getting in the way.

That is where I have been. I am okay with all of it. Crossing things off of our ever-growing list of things to do. Making sure we spend as much time laying on the grass and learning just what it feels like to spread our wings, back home, once again.

It is good.

Why Do I blog?

Welcome. Why do I blog? I blog for my two little girls so that when I am long gone, soaking up guilt-free sun rays, laying on a big fluffy cloud up in Heaven, they can remember. They can remember the simple things. The little things. Those things that are small to everyone else, but mighty to this mommy's heart. I want my children to know that not only the major milestones were remembered, but also the little milestones. Her first bike ride, her first bee sting, the first time she planted seeds in the garden. They will both know, not only were they loved deeply, but also the magnitude of that depth. Why not just journal? Because part of me hopes that in my day to day writing, someone out there in this mighty World can relate. Can relate to one little thing that runs through all of us--the desire to remember the times that made us laugh, smile, cry and most importantly, treasure our loved ones.
