To Remember

We have been here in Germany for almost two months now and have another week and a half before we leave for Switzerland and Italy.  Besides sitting on the couch and watching the European Soccer Championships and hearing my son scream Tor  as a team he is rooting for scores a goal, the new friendships I made at church like Conny, Tasia and Beth, I would like to remember all the wild flowers.  Everyday as I walk along the river I have the opportunity to drink in the smell of wild flowers.  The air is delicious!  We have had a good time here in Germany.  The boys have improved their German.   We have gotten to spend time with Oma and Opa, and had experiences that I just can't put into words.   Life is busy, but are you talking the time to smell the flowers and to savor each experience.  When I was younger I was always counting down to the next adventure.  Now, I try to be present and aware of each moment and the gift it has to give.
