I am notorious for making everything into a metaphor on life-so why don’t I continue my legacy….

So tomorrow I am finally getting my root canal done.  I have put it off long enough.  And I took the day off in case it is the horrible experience some have expressed.  But I told my friend Terri-(who’s also my assistant at PregnancyCare) that when I had ALL FOUR of my wisdom teeth out a couple years ago I ate Indian food the next day!  She laughed hysterically and said "only Emily could do this"-she knows nothing gets in between me and my love for good food-not even pain=) 

Now to the metaphor-ah yes.  So you know that no true growth and progress will ever come to pass if you don’t get to the root of any issue or problem.  Even though going there you may incur pain.  In the long run it is worth it for your personal growth and well being along with those around you.  Admitting you need help is not a weakness, it is a strength!  There would not exist other people if there were not a need to work as a team, a family if you will.  My neighbor was sick yesterday and so my friend and I went to the store and picked up some Gatorade and Listerine for him=)  Life is so much better when we can work as a team, a family.  I know I am pure queso but you’ll get over it ’cause you know it’s true!

Beware of harking back to what you once were, when you are destined to be something you have never been.

Take a risk!

Peace.

Waiting has never been my strongest point-but in these past 5 years I would say it has been a bit easier-a bit.  The beauty of it all is that in these years I have come to recognize how much change can feel great!  I welcome it gladly.  You know the proverb that expresses the basic truth that there are things we can change and things that we cannot.  Well, while I have been growin’ up and changin’ my family amazingly has too!  It is crazy.  Although there are some things I am glad will never change about all of them.  Their humor rules for one.  I love that my dad, step mom, and I watched a movie this weekend-TWICE-and cried at the same points=)  It was stinkin’ cute=)  We’ve all grown up so much-and felt the pains.  But we came through the furnace and although a few scars-we shine as if refined metal.  Don’t get me wrong the work is not done with any of us=)

So again I write about another wonderful evening with my favorite-married with child-couple=) 

First of all, driving down South into Kentucky and crossing the bridge is always a highlight-it’s the simple things in life folks!  And to have a fresh salad and a burger just fresh off the grill ready for you when you arrive-damn that is good=)  Food is definitely a way to my heart!  But an evening with these folks rules!  Their 3-and-a-half year old is incredible awesome, intelligent, beautiful, ridiculously funny and always entertaining (She reminds me of me! HA! Aren’t we conceited;-).  (Not to mention she melts my heart when she says "I love you Emmie" and gives me a kiss and a hug)  Mom and Dad and I get into the most interesting conversations-you know all of you wish to be a fly on the wall;-)  Our sex talks, faith talks, social justice talks, parenting talks, bodily function talks(this usually comes when it gets later-when our inhibitions are even more lax=)  All in all, you need to meet these folks but you have to be willing to keep it completely real!  They are beautiful and I am soooo incredible blessed to have them in my life!  They are my family.  But so are all of you!  I love you all and wish you a good Wednesday filled with a mix of good ole’ fashion humor, some lovin’, and lots of relaxin’!

Peace.

Em

I hope you are well.  I don’t know where you are or how you are doing.  But know that you are well thought of=)  You know I’d want you to be on my team-afterall, iron sharpens iron.

Peace.  Wish I could take flight on this beautiful day.
