Good moments

A few months ago, my eye doctor's assistant gave me a hug in the office.  She had recently gone through a divorce and gave me some encouraging words.  She said that as time went by, there would be a day when I would think "I'm okay right now."  She promised that those moments would increase.  I held onto that hope.  Who knew?  She was right.  I'm having more of those good moments these days.

Last night, a man gave me a dozen beautiful red roses.  They have made our whole house bloom and smell wonderful.   The photo is dark and does not do them justice.




Today, Carson put up our Christmas lights on the house.  He proved once again how capable and willing he is to do the difficult tasks, and he did a great job!




Tonight I had dinner with my friend Melody.  Over Italian food, we talked about men.  We are both single women with children, and share many of the same kind of experiences.  We laughed a lot and got teary as well.  We discussed our loves, losses, and the places in our hearts where we keep all of those things.  I gained strength from this woman whom I have always admired.   A great evening of bonding.

Thank you, lovely moments.

Micah's 10th Birthday

Happy Birthday to my sweet Micah today!  Micah is my little supporter in life.  He always has a smile and a hug, and sometimes a little reassurance for his momma.  I always say that he was picked out in heaven and sent to me because God knew I would need his loving soul.  

You shine your light and your smile on me everyday, Micah.  I love you more than you know.
