Little Toes


The day started early with Nate climbing into bed with us at 5:45am. While I was lying there I thought about the feel of Nate's warm little toes touching my legs. What a good feeling that really is and how lucky I am.

Anniversary


I am not a believer in soul mates but I am a woman deeply in love with a great man.

Darren and I have been married for seven years. I feel loved and cared for when I am with him. He is an honest, kind genuine man with a good soul.

As the years go by I learn more about him and lately one of the things that I have noticed is that he really takes in the world and sees things. Spending time with Darren in nature is always a discovery...he sees the beauty in the world around him and he takes the time to be in the moment.
This weekend we spent some time away just the two of us. It was nice to have conversations, share laughs and share silence together. Just being together and focusing on us.
I am looking forward to more great memories and times together ...until then I will enjoy just the "Being" of us together in the present. Life is good.

Spring and Mothers day


Spring is here and I have disappeared from my blog. Not unusual for those that know me....I love to garden and this is prime time.
This year gardening is different for me...not such a crazy need to get it done but more of an enjoyable time in nature. I am taking the time to watch the growth and to feel the aliveness. I am spending the time in the garden not just in body but in my mind as well.
Mothers day was last week and the day was very special. I felt very loved from the moment I woke up.The day was filled with special moments and memories with my family.
I took some time in the afternoon on Mothers day to lie on a blanket in the backyard and watch the birds. I fell asleep on the grass with a pillow that Jade made for me and the breeze lightly blowing the trees. What a wonderful nap and what a great experience.
The whole day was great!
