I Am Learning

I haven’t been around here much lately.  I’ve been too busy living life.  Good or bad and it has felt like there is less good and more of the painful and bad but I am making sure that the t’s and I’s are being crossed with my family and those I hold dear.  I’m continuing to learn what is important as we are never too old or young to learn this lesson.  I am seeing what the real blessings are in my life.  And I am trying to live life in the present and not always jumping forward to figure out what I should be doing next. 

I am learning that blessings come in the form of hearing my two year-old who just six months ago had 25% speech delay belt out her ABC’s.

Who was approved for regular preschool next fall?  Just this girl!

I am learning that the power of friendship is the strength and fire that propels us through some of our darkest days.  The friend who calls you her angel has no idea what a gift she gave to you when she uttered those words.  These are the words that you will tuck away in your brain forever and deeply cherish.

I’m ready for a less intense journey in the next few months but I have also learned that if that isn’t the case then I will have to weather the storm and see my way through it.  I know it won’t be alone.
