Although April is far in the review mirror, here is a list of some things that happened in that busy month:
In April, we

- Had a couple friends visit from out of town

- Minimal reading
- Considered life changes
May was equally full. We
- Celebrated the last state track meet of our high school senior who finished the season with a gold medal in the 800m and a silver in the 4 x400 relay. She ran the 400, but didn't place.
- Celebrated Mother's Day with a trip to a state park swimming hole with friends.

- Made a couple major life decisions
- Slept very little
- Read very little
- Exercised very little
- Had to go to confession
- Appreciated Mass
- Appreciated wildflowers
- Appreciated swimming holes and pools
This list is not comprehensive. It's just to remind myself how the days slip away, and yet we have wonderful memories to revisit. I was meaning to write a reflective post, but I couldn't quite decide what to reflect upon. Now that the summer looms invitingly ahead with only minimal activities scheduled, I look forward to more time to simply daydream and sleep.
