And getting this email reminded me that I&#8217;ve accomplished a major goal.  It hasn&#8217;t been easy juggling school, work, and parenting, but somehow I managed even if it is all a bit of a blur now.  I&#8217;m soaking up time with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.latenightpc.com\/blog\">Rob <\/a>and my kids now and catching up on projects that have been sitting a bit too long.   I&#8217;m spending a lot of time gardening and it feels so good to see the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/tags\/sunflower\/\">sunflowers<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/tags\/anemone\/\">anemones<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/tags\/nasturtium\/\">nasturtiums<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/tags\/morningglory\/\">morning glories<\/a> coming up.  My eczema has all cleared up and I&#8217;m exercising again.  It isn&#8217;t ballet four times a week like it was in first year, but it&#8217;s something.  Life is good.<\/p>\n<p><em>photo by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/raeallen\/84755536\/\">RaeA<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got this in my email this morning from 43things and it gave me such a good feeling.
