little boys and backward undies

Life is full of so many twists and turns.... moments that catch me off guard and make me smile. Many are unsharable... like all the ways my almost 4 year old makes me smile in a day. Today he has refused clothes. "it's hot." And for him that is reason enough. He is on his hands and knees on the wood floor of the LR playing trucks.... his lone piece of clothing on backward.

Over the last few days I have realized how many good things I have in my life. I actually feel like treading softly.... because it feels so good. I love my job, able to send more time with my kids, my stress is reduced.  Sigh.... so good.

Each of the kids are growing into their own in unique ways. Being able to spend time with them I am falling in love with them all over again. Isaac and I are in the best place ever, having fine tuned our communication and learned to work forward. I am back to running longer distances. I am cooking again. I am creating. I am looking forward with out anything holding me back.

I have had stress of one form or another in my life for a very long time, whether relationship or job or finances or moving.  Suddenly I realize. I am happy. Content.  Are there elements of my life that need to change? sure... but the process is natural... and it feels like a first...

So I feel a tinge of exhilaration.

I looked at myself in the mirror this morning (as I was trying to get out the door in three minutes to get my daughter to the dr ) and smiled. Hold tight to this, babe, you've been waiting a long time.

I could get used to this.
