Small Miracles

All is still well here.  I am still balancing and healing and being a mom and teacher and wife and friend.

There are no major issues good or bad that I are handling right at this moment...  Whew...

However, Life is Life.
I hope to recognize each small miracle as it comes.
With that territory comes recognizing each small loss.


Here are just a few of the miracles:

• Sophie's face lighting up with true joy when I tell her how proud I am of her.
• Anthony calming himself down in a moment of frustration before screaming.
• Chris telling me that I have always been and will always be beautiful in his eyes. (liar...)  :)
• Bill running a marathon in John's memory.
• An anonymous gift in my mailbox (bracelet) - slightly concerned this wasn't meant for me...  Maybe for the person whose mailbox is above me?
• Sitting on my couch in my own silent night and staring at the lights on the tree
• Being challenged and inspired by Jackie to create yoga lesson plan
• Dreaming about opening a yoga studio in the (distant) future
• Remembering all the funny Christmas moments with John through the years
• Looking forward to Tom's visit this weekend
• Talking to a friend on the phone and having that "I am home" feeling
• Knowing that at any second this can all be taken away...and being ok...
