once-in-a-lifetime

so, i'm sure nobody expected me to be writing again so soon. i mean, if i had a dime for every time i said, 'i'm getting back to my blog' i wouldn't be stressing the wedding expenses..or anything else. but here i am, less than 24 hours later, and burning with a topic about which i want to vent, er i mean, creatively express myself.

and i can't.

or rather, i shouldn't.

in a rare exercise of self-restraint i'm going to keep my mouth, and fingers, quiet on this particular topic. and instead write about ... ummm. i'm not sure.

this morning i registered todd for a school trip to spain next spring. (yes, they promote early sign-up to help offset the ginormous expense.) it's one of those things where i felt my heart flutter when i did it because i know it's a very big deal, a once-in-a-lifetime experience for a young teen. i get a thrill out of giving the boys things i never had. but the magnitude doesn't escape me.

i've felt a similar flutter as we write checks for the wedding, but it's not quite as easy. i keep reminding myself that i deserve this once-in-a-lifetime experience too.

today i'm choosing to trust in the flow of the universe. in the flow of abundance. i trust that everything will work out as it should. todd will have his trip. we'll have the wedding. and the irs..well, they can get in line. as best i can tell, they aren't going anywhere.
