As you all know, I have not posted very much lately…!
I’ve moved onto other projects, spent enormous amounts of time organizing my house so that our lives run so much smoother, and last but definitely not least spending time with my family. When I look back to the 2 1/2 yrs that I was living and breathing Mitt Romney while I don’t regret it a bit because I felt that I was doing something bigger than myself, I feel a tinge of sadness in the fact that I didn’t spend as much time with my kids. I have to thank my husband Joel for “holding down the fort” during all of my many trips to try and help Governor Romney get elected President.
One thing that I would like to express to you with a great amount of emotion. During a week in which Tim Russert died (I just finished watching his funeral off of my DVR) I really feel a deep love for my family. Not that I ever didn’t love them before, but I really have felt an overpowering love for mine in the weeks and months since the campaign ended. I’m doing things in my life that I haven’t been the best at doing. I’m reading more to my children, I’m cuddling more, I’m listening to them more. I’m also getting to know my husband more, and falling in love again. I have to give some of the credit for this to Governor Romney. The things that I did during his campaign were the biggest confidence boosters than I’d felt in years. I gained a self-esteem that I needed greatly. Despite his “loss” in the election, I’ll never feel like a loser. I’ll forever feel like a winner. He was and is still the best candidate for President, it just wasn’t his time. Sometimes God plays tricks with us, but we just have to wait for things to happen in their individual seasons. I’d like to ask of you that you turn your hearts toward home as well a little more. We all have such busy lives that we don’t know what we’re missing sometimes. Life can be so short, live it to the fullest. The quote that I’ve been imparting to my children now more than ever is, “when you’re doing a job…make it your very best effort”.
I’m off to Miami as of tomorrow morning (I actually most likely won’t get much sleep before we have to leave) for two weeks, after that we’ll be making a few day trips. I want to promise you though that when I return, I will post more. I must say though, that the break has been absolutely cathartic. It’s so nice to not have to keep up with all this politics stuff all the time.
Until Mid-July,
Ann Marie
