How funny is it to just stop for a minute and realize where you are in life. How you got there. How incredible it is. How strange that you have come all the way you have to get where you are. How blessed we all are to be at whatever point we are.
Then to lift your thoughts a bit down the road ahead; to where your dreams lead you.
My thoughts this morning? I am so excited for my future sweet little babies! Little carbon copies of me and my love to put in striped hanna andersson long-johns and chase around. with bare feet. on wood floors. in the mornings before breakfast.
A weirdly specific picture to have in my head, I know. I came across these and that is what they told me :)
Love you ladies!!
Yup... had those same thoughts this morning. It's a crazy ride. Learning to live every day for today. It surprises me that the more open we are to the future, the more able we are to live today. It seems ironic in a way but makes perfect sense. And the sense of anticipation is overwhelming. I always thought I had to have a perfect plan lined up to make sure I had my next steps. Such a waste of mental energy! Hopes and dreams come from living in the moment. That way you're able to appreciate the little things that happen every day. And when things do happen you are able to realize that it's part of that perfect little package that God has wrapped up for you. You have nothing to do with it except receive it. Yay!
ReplyDeletei wish i could anticipate those days with a joyful optimism right now. my sister's husband walked out officially (moved in with a friend), because he "Cant handle it anymore". Very very sad situation and i have been seeing red the past two days. I cant fathom his level of selfishness.
ReplyDeleteI guess i am learning how to love but disconnect and still live my life.. Its just so hard when all i want to do is inflict pain on the bastard.
ReplyDeleteOh Mare! I am so sorry. That is horrid. and I can only imagine how discouraging to watch happen. You are such a good sister and you love her...I'm thinking it is a natural reaction to want to junk punch him and say "YOU KNOW WHY!". Bastridge.
