Going with the flow...

We went to Jacksonville, Florida a couple weekends ago.  We didn't go to celebrate the holiday (which holiday was it again?)  We had a plan, we were going to go do this, then we wanted to do this, then we were going to eat there, and then we were going to see if we couldn't do this, and, and, and...

We learned a valuable lesson, sometimes it's better to just go with the flow, sometimes what we think we want or need to do isn't what is really in store for us at all, sometimes we need to step back and let the day just roll.

We ended up at this beautiful beach on Mayport Naval Base, and it was by shear chance.  Our day could not have been better or more fun.
(If you'll notice neither of the kids even have swimming suits)

A New Beginning

"Trust yourself.
Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life.
Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement."
               -Golda Meir-

A little someting to Play!

 (Life can be hard sometimes.  Sometimes what we need is to slow down and realize the simple pleasures around us.)

• I am loving this one and can't seem to stop singing along with it
• This one tends to not only get sung, but sung at the top of our lungs
• I was originally turned onto this group from this blog and I will have to say I am glad I checked them out!  This is one of those albums that must be listened to at HIGH volume. 
• The video for this song is enough to make me laugh every time I see it, and don't forget to check out the song too.
• And one more to send you off with a BANG!!
