a break much needed.

Last week I was in a funk.

So I wrote a semi-angsty post about it took a break from blogging for a couple of days.  You were all so sweet and many of you took the time to leave me comments filled with understanding and encouragement.  I never started this blog for the purpose of having people read it...it was always just for myself, but knowing that I have found such a wonderful community of friends here has made it so much more fulfilling.

I spent my time away relaxing....

I painted my nails while Fern took an extra long nap.

Made strawberry shortcake.

Enjoyed sleeping in for the first time in 6 months (since Fern was born).

I didn't hear her wake up, but Craig did - so he got up with her and I got to sleep an extra hour and then he made me a delicious mocha once I was awake.  Extra sleep is is way better than flowers any day.  I have myself a good husband. 

Overall, I just stopped and took time to enjoy the little things and remember how blessed I am in my life.  I have a wonderful family - a thoughtful husband, a beautiful, sweet baby and coffee.  The whole world looks better after a cup of good coffee :).

Thank you again for being wonderful bloggy friends.

I feel refreshed and am looking forward to being back at it again.
