text: Vent! Let it all out! Scream! Yell! Cry! Whatever you need to do when life closes in. Go hit some baseballs. Flog a poor, defenseless golf ball. Play some tennis. When life gets to be too much, as it does for us all, surround yourself with those that understand.
  For me, this is my writer's group. They are my second family. The ones that see me through thick and thin. The ones that cheer me on, and encourage me. They tell me the truth when I need to hear it, but always address it in love and Christian caring.
  We are not meant to go through life alone. Writers and other artists struggle because people just don't get us. and that's fine. They don't need to get us - as long as someone else does. give yourself the freedom to vent when you need to, and then get yourself right back on track and back to work. You have a novel to write.
  Last night we went to the park where Spry plays frisbee golf. It's a beautiful park and has a great playground for the kids. Dives, as always, was pretty cautious about what she would play on and how she would play. It cracks me up when she puts her hand on her waist and gives me that look!
  While Bug took off her shoes, Dives was often cleaning hers out or complaining that there was something in them.
  Bug, rarely was in the bark long enough to get any on her feet, let alone in her shoes. Oh, that's right, her flipflops stayed somewhere under a pole most of the evening.
  Honestly, I'm shocked we haven't spent numerous hours with this child at the Emergency Room. If there is something she can climb on, I promise you, she will be there trying to get higher.
  We had a great time at the park and it was very fun getting to spend time with some of our friends from the neighborhood.
  Cute pictures. I love Ivy's look on the first one. I am such a stress case, I am glad that both my girls are too chicken to do much of anything! When I show Bella pictures of Jade and what she is up to, she is really shocked. I tell her not to even think about it!
