Flaming June's Love

I went to an antique, rummage type sale at the community Temple.  A basement full of dishes, candlesticks, old records and lots of vintage costume jewelry.  I loved it all.  Since the house is jammed full of things that I LOVE...  I have taken to only buying things I intend to give away.  It doesnt mean I love these items any less, it just means I LOVE them so much I have committed them to someone else, as soon as I buy it. I think this makes me love them even more, they have to speak to me, move me, or appear to already belong to someone else before I will take them home.  I walked into the Temple, and having never been inside before thinking about a whole bunch of things.  I have been reading alot of books lately concerning world War II.  The Book Thief Once We Were Brothers Those Who Save Us Monuments Men The Bakers Daughter The Lost Wife Sarah Key So I entered with the families from my books written on the faces of the men and...

I know it is coming.  Big changes are right around the corner.  I am loving these days right now. I have a great relationship with my husband right now.  We are on a really good run. We are going with jack to NYC this weekend just to BE. I like him. One dayh at a time. I get to spend a few days a week with my Mom.  We shop, lunch, chat.  She is my go to gal.  I wish I could be there for her more, but for now-she seems to enjoy her independence.  I enjoy our sleepovers when Andy is away.  We have dinner and chat, do homework with Jack and simply just be.

The season of Lent is upon us.  Today is Ash Wednesday and we should observe this day by going to church and receiving ashes. I am hopeful Jack has a goo dday at school today.  He was anxious about ashes on his forehead. I will hopefully be writing everyday for lent. I hope to get some spiritual reward by reigniting my writing. Maybe a daily purge will bring me closer to something important. Lent. I am giving up donuts as well. We are to reflect and be prayerful at this time of year. I will try my best. Jack is working diligently on his random acts of kindness still. One a day for lent. Let the "donut free random acts of kindness blogging prayerful 40 days and nights begin." Love to all. I feel empty for thoughts to blog about. But still love my babies.
