Oh how SWEET you are….more than you’ll ever know….

In a previous post above I had mentioned about a conversation I had with my son.  Well he wanted me to pack him a “special” lunch for school this week in honor of Thanksgiving.
I decided to make today’s lunch the ‘special’ of the week since he only has two days of school this week.  I was trying to be so sneaky about it that I forgot to take a picture.

Max’s Special Lunch 11.25.13

- Virginia Ham and Med Cheddar Cheese on Wheat (used my heart shaped cookie cutter)
- 1/2 of a peeled Honey Crisp apple sliced lengthwise (resembles semi-heart shaped)
- 5 pieces of chips
- 1 sliver of brownie the size of my finger pinky (he just told me how much he loves brownies)
- 1 sugar cookie in the shape of an autumn leaf the size of my hand

The final touch was a handwritten note : “You are very SPECIAL to me” –Love Mom

He had come downstairs for breakfast and saw me packing it into his lunch box.  He squealed with excitement as he saw the items for lunch today.  I said that he may not be as surprised now come lunch time because he saw me packing it with my pouty sad face.

He’s such a sweetie….he said joyfully that he’ll pretend to be super surprise when he opens his lunch box in front of his friends.  He also said that he may not be able to finish that sugar cookie, but will save the leftover because we shouldn’t waste food (yep! that’s my boy).

We walk out to the bus stop and he says, “ Mom, you sure know how to make me feel extra special in our family.”

Oh my how time has flown by….2014 here I am 

In 2013 I had set out to discover ‘me’ in a sense.  I’ve opened my heart, my home and met people to learn that I’m much stronger mentally, emotionally and physically than I had given myself credit for.  I made some new friends and minus others.  I wanted to broaden my views beyond the borders of this state and so I’ve traveled alone and at times with friends and family.  I am content with who I am but know that there is always room for improvement and growth.  And while I’ve crossed off things on my bucket list, there were new ones I’ve yet to discovered and added.

From pine cone hunting to Thanksgiving get together…Christmas tree chopping to home decorations…my 2013 ended with more time spent with those most important and precious to me.

I’m excited for 2014 as it begins to unfold.  I am happy, content, healthy and peaceful.

That is so cool how you've set out to accomplish "you."  More people should do this...because it really is challenging.  A friend e-mailed me saying "2014 is a blank book."  What a great way to see the future.

Red – I haven’t thought about ‘topping’ 2013 in any way, but rather continue on this path to see where it leads me in 2014.


•   I plan on doing a @boo version of Anthony Bourdain in DC in 2014.
•   Maybe camp under the stars in Utah
•   Take swimming lessons to improve strokes other than floating and underwater
•   Currently have 4 weddings and 3 prom dates in place this year for simple @boo florals
•   Perhaps summit a few mountains in CO
•   Salmon fishing in Lake Michigan
•   Maybe a cruise
•   And definitely a little black dress

and of course....get my passport so I can think about where I want to go in 2015 for my very first stamp
