Girl Scout's Promise

What I anticipated as a busy day turned out to be light.

After my morning Friday routine of going to Mass

Did some organizing around the house

Went to my new gig but can't reveal til September

My fabric shopping with 2 clients got cancelled

Left me free the whole afternoon

Wanted to spend time and go out with the kids but they'd rather play with their friends

Can't beat football

Went out alone and purchased school supplies

School's starting soon

will have an empty nest for 9 hours everyday again

hence am so happy with all the things I'm involved in

The thing about this time in my life

I have planned it in a way that the first part

will really sacrifice my own career

and be a full time mom

though through it all

I've always been active and involved

I always volunteer

Now that the kids are bigger and more independent ( we raise them that way)

I have so much time to do things I want to do

Am just thankful for all the blessings that come my way

Am also blessed to do things I love and enjoy

without sacrificing my time with my family

Everything I'm involved in

I get to have the say when am available

And that I am so grateful for

Like what I always believe in

Life is about choices

and where you plan to head to

Would sometimes give you surprises

you never expect

both good and challenging

but isn't that what life's all about?

So, plan ahead

I was a girl scout

and, yes, a troop leader

I always carried that mantra

"always be prepared"

'Cause life is one big roller coaster

and you want to be on top when it finds you

Happy weekend!
