365 Days of Happiness (355/365)

365 Days of Happiness (355/365)

Up early today.  Rousted out of bed by my alarm.  Saturdays are best started by waking naturally as the morning light gently enters the room.  This morning would have been a deliciously slow awakening, as moody clouds filled the Baltimore sky.

BUT!  Gotta get up.  Went to Advanced Radiology Group in Ellicott City and got my mammogram.  #SaveLives

Happy Saturday.  A whole wonderful day awaits you.

Building a house is a lot like putting together a giant jigsaw puzzle.  The choices and decisions can be overwhelming at times.  We met with a lovely woman named Nora, who took us through the design process so easily.    Nora, thank you. We are so grateful to you.

Well – that’s it.  All of our choices have been made.  Our home will soon be in the hands of our Project Manager, Ben. We meet him on Friday for our pre-construction meeting.  It’s getting so real.

We’re home from Franklin and Marshall Parent’s weekend.  My mind is full of Erin’s smiles.  Oh man.  No one tells you when they place that little bundle of joy in your arms the day they are born — about they day they will leave home.  How their smiles become the most important things to you.  That they are miles and miles away…but happy.  It’s all that matters.

This peaceful Sunday night, I spend a bit of it thinking about my destiny as a mom.  So many nights rocking a feverish baby.  Then up in the middle of the night – chasing bad dreams away.  Then — in a flash — you are sitting at graduation wondering — “Where did it all go??”

My grown daughters are my babies.  And now, they are my friends.  And interesting people.  Kind hearted people.  I can’t wait until I can see them again.

Until then — I’ll continue to be their soft place to land.  And fill my days with….all that comes next.

Life is wonderful.  #ChooseHappiness365 (349/365)
