Deep thoughts...by Karen Coon

Now that I'm at home with the kids I have all this time to think. Thinking can be dangerous I've decided. Ignorance is bliss right? Its true. Ignorance IS bliss. I think sometimes not knowing something is happening makes it less painful even if you have a pretty good idea that it is. I haven't been myself lately. I don't know if I know who I am anymore.

It reminds me of a quote...I can't remember who said it though. "When things are bad, we take comfort in the thought that they could always be worse. And when they are, we find hope in the thought that things are so bad they have to get better."

I took the kids out for a walk today to take my mind off of things. I like to take random pictures of things I find uplifting and pretty. Check out these beautiful flowers.
They were so beautiful. Every shade of my favorite color at once. Like a rainbow of purpleness =)

They still make me smile. They remind me of my wedding flowers. I had the most beautiful flowers....they were a very special hybrid of rose made to be a light shade at the bottom and dark dark purple at the tips.

My kids are so amazing. They love spending time with me. It makes me feel so good about who I am. They are just happy sitting here with me on the couch watching our favorite cartoon "Avatar: The last airbender" just because they love me for who I am.

Sometimes its nice just knowing that everything you do isn't just I dunno...Wrong. Cort and Tatumn are so amazing. So full of fun and life and energy. They can find the simplest joys out of something like a walk to the park. We walk down to this favorite park of theirs and lay on the grass under a huge tree and I'll read a book while they show me everything. They have become very excited about Halloween as of late and are telling me all about their costumes and what they want to be. Cort wants to be Avatar Ang and Tatumn wants to be the warrior Suki. We keep talking about how were going to make it obvious who they are. Tatumn wants her fans and makeup to be just perfect and Cort refuses to shave his head lol



Here is avatar Ang as Cort wants to portray him. I tried to convince him his hair would grow fast but he wants nothing to do with shaving his head lol



And here is Suki as Tatumn wants to portray her. She used fans to fight with so I think its a fun excuse for Tatumn to get some hand fans lol

Well I think I've spent enough time thinking. I'm going to go and do something mindless like folding laundry.

I'll leave you with one more quote from an unknown author.

"Depression is nourished by a lifetime of ungrieved and unforgiven hurts"
