So, today I literally got the day off….sort of

Adam was invited to play with a school friend that lives literally 5 houses down from us. In a neighborhood that the houses almost touch…..it is NOT far. I had my dentist appt this morning and then went to pick up Adam at school. His friend’s mom wanted him to come right away and play for the entire afternoon………ummm….”SERIOUSLY???”!!!!!

So, here I sit…..1:00 pm….

My FIRST FREE AFTERNOON since we got to Calgary….

What do I do???

Where do I go???

Should I sleep??

Should I garden???

LOL

I love that things are starting to feel normal again. I am so happy my friends are here and with us during this new phase of our lives.

The most difficult part of moving is something I never dreamed it would be. It comes up again and again. When you see something, feel something, do something, think somthing……that someone in your life would love, understand, and care about…………not having that someone HERE is hard…..the solitude of seeing it alone………and not being able to share it………it hard for me………very very hard. I love to share, I love to feel, I love my friends…..

My mom taught me long ago to look into the clouds and see the shapes. My mom walks slowly when near flowers. My mom can identify a leaf in the dead of winter and see the beauty of a blooming flower when spring arrives. I try to use this in my daily life……….knowing that the hard job of transforming my life into a the mom I have always wanted to be…….will bloom with beauty one day.
