up early
August 12, 2014
woke up really early this morning. couldn't fall back to sleep. before i woke up, i was dreaming our home was next to the ocean, and i could hear it and wow... i do love the sound of the ocean hitting the shore. would love to hear that every day.
ok, so anyways, i figured i better be smart and get up and do my ministry, as i figured i would be tired later in the day and need a nap and i just didn't want to risk being to tired out later. it is a no brain-er really.
Steph got back home last night, she didn't even have time to unpack...well, she sat with me and we talked for about an hour.. man that girl can make me laugh. I enjoy humor, but to get me to laugh out loud... takes a certain kind of wit, and it takes her all of about 5 seconds and i am about rolling on the floor laughing. EO says he loves to hear me laugh like that, as even though he makes me laugh all the time, I mostly giggle and chuckle, but with Steph, it is a full body laugh. Colton can make me laugh too, but Steph, just does it so much more. I am going to miss her when she moves...i would guess she will move next year. but who knows. I guess i am the closest to her. i don't hold much back from my kids, but I tell her the most. she knows how to open me up, and i know how to open her up. It isn't hard to open her up, it is just a matter of having genuine interest and asking her questions. I don't think people know that. Most people these days are so wrapped up in their own issues, they don't know how to really ask questions anymore. It is understandable, yet really sad. like that movie or tv show, not sure which, about that woman who is so self involved, someone is teaching her how to talk to people face to face...she is being coached to say "hi, how are you" and then listen for a response. sad thing is, people are that bad. Steph will let her walls down, if someone shows genuine interest in her, but otherwise, she keeps herself so guarded. I feel for her. ok, if reads this, she will most likely kick my behind. but, it weighs on my mind so much. it has for years.
well, i can feel fatigue creeping in, maybe my nap will come sooner than i think.
