Well, it's no secret to my regular blog readers who follow my family blog or my Facebook that this overseas tour has been the hardest for us as a family. Not so much a strain like many couple face, but rather more stressors.
While George is having a tough time with a position that is more "pencil-pusher" and administrative in nature than any of his previous assignments as well as the realities of missing out on so many family memory-making moments and we are here on the homefront struggling with a unhappy work environment, terrible twos, toddler separation anxiety and more, we try to look to the future and knowing it will be over soon.
Recently, I was telling my mom that her blog, Just The Bear Facts, should participate in Pink Saturday, a blog project I did years ago during George's first deployment as a method of counting down until his return. Her quilting-themed company allows her so many chances to see some pretty amazing things in the quilting and crafting world, it just seemed like a great project.
Now, as I look forward to keeping busy until hubby return, I thought I'd take it up again.
There are so many wonderful things to be found in everyday life and I need to focus more on those to help me fin peace. That is the theme of this week's Pink Saturday post ... A Peaceful Pink Presence ... rom my childhood pink bunny, artwork from my lil monkey, flowers at my grandparents' ranch and a bouquet from my hubby ...
I hope everyone has a peaceful Saturday. Until our next cup of tea ...

Hello Princess,
I'm a wee bit late for Pink Saturday but I wanted to stop by and wish you a lovely week ahead. Your pink flowers are so pretty!
I see your blog title mentions tea. If you would like to, I host a tea party every week on my blog and I would love to have you join me sometime. Wishing you a wonderful day and take care.
Blessings,
Sandi
