Wow! I don't think I could say enough about the friends I have. Amazing women with strengths that strengthen those of us lucky enough to be around them. With weaknesses they are kind enough to share with the rest of us so we can share their sorrows and try to help build them up. At this point in my life, I am in desperate need of friendships. It is a hard place to be in. I've grown up, I am most definitely an adult. But as a mom and wife, my own identity is constantly shoved to the back and often gets lost. But thankfully, I have friends who can see past all my daily labels and see me. They can bring me back to myself. "Hello Aubrey, it's nice to see you again. We should keep in better touch with each other."
Here are a few quotes I've read recently and enjoyed. I hope you all have a wonderful day. We are getting another blanketing of snow and its beautiful. The sun is just bright enough to make the world seem hopeful. It's fresh and bright, clean and white. Promising a wonderful warmth inside with our loved ones. I love you all!
"We are all blessed to have our lives filled with love, family and friends."
"True friendship is seen through the heart, not the eyes."
"The most important things in life...aren't things."
"May your home be a place where friends meet, family gathers, and love grows."
All of these came from an amazing catalog of items from Country Door in Monroe WI. If I had my own retreat space, it would be filled with stuff from this catalog. I love it!!! Check it out if you get a chance at their website.

About Me
- Aubrey
- I'm a stay at home mom who has no idea what I want to be when I grow up. I love being able to be home with them and am glad I don't have to choose a place in the real world. I room mother for my son's kindergarten class. That is enough work for me now.

My resolutions
- 1. get out and do more. With the kids, with Darrell, and all on my own for myself.
- 2. play more. Again, with my kids, my husband and (don't read this the wrong way) myself.
- 3. be more. I have to improve myself in so many ways. But my expectations aren't unreasonable. Just like, a better housemaker: ie. putting away the loads of laundry I've tirelessly washed and folded, make more effort to cook fantastic meals; be a better wife: ie. more compassionate, selfless, willing to share myself; be a better mom: ie, more patient, fun loving, playful.

Aubrey, I can only imagine how difficult it can be, most days, to maintain some sense of self, an identity, when you are so busy caring for three young children, a dog, and a husband. Mothers must give, give, give, and are then left feeling empty, often without words of thanks or appreciation to help keep them going from day-to-day. I hope that you do know, that no matter what tasks you must endure in your daily life, those of us who know you well know exactly what type of person you are--intelligent, creative, quirky, talented beyond belief. You once gave me a card that said "Endure, and save yourself for days of happiness." I remember it so well, and repeat that phrase for myself often. Who we are at this very moment in life does not have to shape what the rest of our lives will be. There is hope for all of us. We will not always struggle with these particular ones that plague us currently. We have a lot of potential inside of us, and I, for one, know for a fact that you are full of greatness. You can do anything you want in this life, Aubrey, if you just have faith in yourself.
P.S. I bookmarked that web site. Great stuff! :) Thanks for sharing.
"With strengths that strengthen those around them. With weaknesses they are kind enough to share...."
