Summer 2012…all I can say is …wow…you rocked me to the core. But, I’m ok. I am ok.
~~~Thank you to JV for this:
“when you're in a storm, close your eyes and endure it
the lessons you will learn just might help you climb that next mountain
---and conquer it”
This week…a simple list…
Just a few things that have been giving me:
happiness…joyfulness…peacefulness…
· making tomato pie with tomatoes and basil from my backyard…oh the salty crust…
· the hummingbird that hangs out in my flower pot on my patio (how do their wings go sooooo fast?)
· watching my daughter snap her fingers-and hearing the slightest sound of an actual snap
· avocado (with salt)
· meeting new people –and hearing “I want us to be friends,”—that was a good moment at a sad time
· coffee-lots of it
· spontaneity…
· watching my daughter crawl to her daddy when he comes home (she races to him)
· making photo books of my daughter—she is beautiful, smart, and happy…she is JOY
· sitting on a patio with my husband talking about how our lives have changed so much in such a short time and vowing to enjoy and embrace it all
· dancing to a favorite song with a friend
· my bluetooth feature in my new car—completely hands free for talking, laughing, catching up
· the sun streaming through my back door
· my new classroom-a blank canvas for______??? (isn’t that the best part?)
· driving with the windows down and listening to music that stays with you, and then leaves you with an A-HA
· the unconditional love my friends show me…in so many little ways…
· the sound of my daughter imitating me singing a little song…she has been actually humming the tune of a song I made up—I heard her do it twice today…the first time I couldn’t believe it, the second time I cried
· the clink that you hear when you are toasting life and the slight echo that says, “this moment is real, this moment is now, cherish this moment”…and always looking the people around you during that directly in their eyes (thanks WN-I will do this always)
Good-bye Summer 2012…and hello to my favorite season…
