is time flying a good thing?

I am wondering if the fact that time seems to fly is a good or a bad thing. What do I do with my days and where do they go?? Before you know it, the heat will be unbearable here and we will be out of school. How did this year go by so quickly? It is really amazing the way time goes by. This Sunday it will be my husband's birthday. It is a hard date for me, I thought I was going to go through it OK but the first year it was so painful, and again the second year, and now we are celebrating a third year without him. I guess the reason why it's painful is because for me a birthday is a celebration of the person, the joy of knowing that person is alive and will continue filling us up with joy, but unfortunately this is not the case. I should be happy to celebrate that he was born and he enriched out lives so much, but for some reason, I get into the sad side of it, and I miss him terribly.

Me pregunto si el hecho de que el tiempo parece volar sea una cosa buena o mala. Que hago con mis dias y donde se me van?? Antes de que me de cuenta, el calor sera insoportable aqui y ya no tendremos cole. Como pudo pasar este anho tan rapido? Es increible como se pasa. Este Domingo sera el cumpleanhos de mi marido. Es un dia duro para mi, pense que lo iba a pasar sin mucho bajon pero el primer anho fue muy triste, y de nuevo el segundo anho, y ahora estamos celebrando el tercer anho sin el. Creo que la razon por la que es doloroso es porque para mi los cumpleanhos son una celebracion de la persona, la alegria de saber que esa persona esta viva y que continuara llenandonos de alegria, pero por desgracia ese no es el caso. Deberia estar contenta de poder celebrar que nacio y que nos enriquecio la vida tanto, pero por alguna razon, me tiro por el lado triste, y le echo de menos un monton.

Here is a plant that was bought in his memory by his parents. He loved plants, he would be happy with this one, it's beautiful.

Aqui hay una planta que fue comprada en su memoria por sus padres. Le encantaban las plantas, le hubiera gustado esta, es tan bonita.

In the happy side of my days (which is actually most of it), and productive, I gathered again with friends and again made a paella, this time using fish and a fish stock that I made. It was awesome! I have another one programmed for next week for when a friend from far away comes for a visit. Looking forward to it.

En la parte mas alegre de mis dias (que es la mayoria del tiempo), y mas productiva, me junte de nuevo con amigos y de nuevo hicimos una paella, esta vez usando pescado y un caldo de pescado que hice yo. Estuvo riquisima! Tengo otra programada para la semana que viene cuando venga una amiga que viene de visita desde muy lejos. Que ganas!

I want to get back to crafts, I am thinking I should make a tutorial of that bag since so many people would like to make it, and it is so easy! And that way I can make myself another bag! There are never enough bags (then I use a plastic bag to go to the pool and my crafty friend looks at me and says "Carmen what's that???" That is just me being me...

Quiero volver a hacer cositas con tela, estoy pensando en hacer un tutorial de la bolsa que tanta gente queria saber hacer, y es tan facil! Y asi em puedo hacer otra bolsa! Nunca tengo suficientes (luego uso una bolsa de plastico para ir a la piscina y mi amiga que tambien cose me mira y me dice "Carmen que es eso????" soy yo siendo yo....un poco cutre.
