My “Good Life”

Recently while running errands during the evening hours, on a rare occasion where I was by myself even, I heard the song “Good Life” by OneRepublic on the radio.

I started bobbing my head to the catchy tune while cranking up the volume. Instantly my mind began to wander back to all that has happened these last few months and I realized that since I heard this song so much this summer it is always going to remind me of the summer of 2011 and all the good new things we had going on – a new baby in the home, Randy’s new job, looking for and buying a new home and the kids starting a new school.

Even flashes of packing on warm summer evenings came to mind and now that memory, as tedious as packing is and as hard as it is with kids underfoot and a nursing infant, brings back good feelings.

My life is good.

It is definitely a “good life”  - though most likely not in all the ways OneRepublic implied.

But still, I know and feel like I am abundantly blessed … even though we do have some of the sick crud plaguing our house right now.

P.S.  In case you noticed, Rudy now has a new name on my blog – Randy.  I was never much into Rudy (not trying to offend anyone with that name) and I finally told my husband that I was going to change the name he chose for himself .
