I could look at this picture and smile forever…

… and that still may not be long enough.

Zero complaints.  Life is amazing.

Let your worries wash away, my girl.   Relax and enjoy the sun on your face and the sand in your toes.

November 20, 2011- Waking Up Beautifully

“Mama?  Can we cuddle and watch the sunrise again this morning?”

::::::::::::::::::::::::

We did.  He and I, snuggled together, looking over the ocean as the sun began to light the morning sky. 

It was 7am, and already the day was perfect.

When your day starts like this, it’s easy to find the high point.

November 4, 2011- Peaceful Dreary

It’s dreary and yet peaceful.

There is no sun in the sky which usually drags me into a weird slump on days like these with their lack of light and excessive gray.

But as I sit and write, I can hear the wind outside and my boy singing himself to sleep.  My daughter observes this and excitedly asks me if this is finally a good day to dust off the kite in the garage who has been waiting several long months for a day just like this.

Fall is in full force here and I look out the window and see the rainbowed confetti falling with each new little gust of wind.

I’m not bothered by the blanket of leaves on my grass nor the gray in the sky today.   Rather, I’m enjoying this peaceful dreary and appreciating what it has to offer.

I will dance in the leaves and smile at the sky.   I will enjoy the cool air and appreciate the change.   We will fly kites and sing songs and notice only the good… and there is so much.

Thoughts for today….

November 2, 2011- Happy Birthday

Though you can acknowledge the amazing feat of birth, you’re still never prepared for how the miracle of a beautiful healthy new person entering the world, and your family, and your heart still manages to take your breath away every time.

Happy Birthday, beautiful boy, Henry. 

I’m so grateful for you and love you with all the love a heart can hold.
