I've always been a "Fix It" type of person.  If I love someone, I'm more than likely going to scheme on how to fix their problems and make them disappear.  If I had one superpower.. That would be it! Swooping in to save the day [[Sebastian loves the word "swoop" and he gets this mischievous grin every time he says it, adorable.]]  So, along comes life's many non-fixable problems. The ones that "just have to work themselves out"... you know, the really irritating ones.  For about 6 months now I've really been scheming.. internally scheming, so much I think it's defeated the entire purpose.  I feel like I did a full circle walking backwards.. I'm back where I started but definitely wasted some time there, but we move forward.  I have a new clarity, a new path.. just trying to let go of the ropes a little bit.  No matter how tight I hang on, the dang horse is gonna go where he's gonna go...  Ya know?

Anywho, my lovely cousin Lauren posted a Dr.Suess quote that definitely hit home perfect today. 

"and when you're in a slump, you're not in for much fun

Un-slumping yourself is not easily done"

Our little family of four has been through quite a bit in the past 6 months.  A slump was bound to happen.  But I'm insanely proud at how we are bouncing back, moving forward.  Un-slumping may not be easily done.. but it is absolutely necessary.
