Reflecting a bit about my life… Sometimes I get so focused on the small things that really don’t matter, and I forgot how lucky I really am. Of course my husband and I argue sometimes or have different views on lots of things, but I’m so thankful for the fact that I get to spend each day loving and learning more about him. I really didn’t even know it was doable to trust another human being the way I trust him. He’s not perfect, but he totally always treats me with love, respect, and kindness… even at moments where I could show him more kindness than I do. I was also (for reasons that I can’t even comprehend) chosen to guide two astonishing tiny girls from infancy to adulthood. After the struggles I’ve had with infertility and multiple miscarriages, creating and caring for babies seems like such a miracle. Instead of worrying about why I can’t seem to have a third child, I am in awe of the fact that there were two times that my body was healthy to create entire new human beings out of nearly nothing, and that I am responsible for teaching them how to be confident, productive, compassionate women. Truly humbling.

It is raining here in Lannion, but it is sunny somewhere else in the world, like Mexico, California, Switzerland. I’m grateful for the days of sunshine! Yay!

Not everything is going perfectly these days, but I’m still very fortunate. I can get up each day and have the option to go out and work on my challenges because I’m healthy and well. I also feel good because I have my mother to speak to. She’s nearly 86 and also doing very well health-wise. She’s got everything together, lives an independent and fulfilling life and is an inspiration. Everything else will get figured out sooner or later.
