my new years resolution:

less facebook, more phone calls
less posts, more personal
less computers, more conversations
less time consuming, more time spent
less blogs, more books
less dreaming, more doing
less longing for, more living

GOODBYE BLOG.. it's been fun.

real life, love, nature, and happiness.

Serendipity is the effect by which one accidentally discovers something fortunate, especially while looking for something entirely unrelated.
-Wiki definition

eli and i have had a busy week which led us to this weekend with no busy involved. most friday's we find ourselves watching 20/20 mysteries if we have no plans, but this friday, eli was working on my ridiculous computer upstairs and i was left to watch tv alone for a couple of hours. i ran across something while flipping through channels. as i quickly scanned and even past this documentary, somehow i ended up back on channel 7.
i was really moved. i love pbs and the refreshing real life drama vs. the scripted, staged, planned kind. this is what i watched and i'm so grateful i had this serendipitous moment to look into these peoples lives. and also to reflect upon and celebrate all of our veterans and military persons. so grateful!
Jerry, Joan, and Bill- i sincerely admire you and every soldier you greet home.
