Chris Bliss amazing juggling routine.

I fel like this sometimes...except I drop the balls!

Dropping the ball...

My daughter posted this post on her blog and the title she chose was: "I want to live like he juggles....no fear of dropping the ball!"

So, as I watched this guy do what he does so perfectly...I saw myself in his seamless juggle....juggling so many things, yet, not dropping a ball once!

Yes...I know I can't be perfect...so please pray that I remember that and that I don't go crazy trying to keep all my balls afloat as I begin my new job in a few weeks!

There's a feather in my nest!

Yes, Steven is here from Japan...(the feather!) In the midst of moments when I miss my daughter, I rejoice in the moments I am able to spend with my son, Steven. He arrived on Wednesday and leaves Tuesday morning at 7am so we are making the most of the time he is here.

His 14 hour flight wasn't as hard as his last flight since economy class was overbooked and the airline rep "had to" bum him up to business class! Wow...that's the ONLY way to go!

Our first stop on the way home was In N Out for obvious reasons...no burgers like that in Japan! That night, he got his long-awaited giant burrito at a local Mexican place that we absolutely love. Yesterday, he had a "real" American breakfast complete with eggs, sausage and french toast.

Tomorrow, we have an all American BBQ with family and friends coming over to see him...it's been great having him here with us.
Tonight, he's with his 2 brothers who don't live far and I miss him already...Yikes, how am I going to handle him leaving me again?

I haven't gotten any better at saying goodbye and being ok with him being so far in Japan...knowing that he has at least another 1-2 years left there. I suppose I will be traveling out there again once or twice to see him.
