Here is Emma swinging at my in-laws place where we spent the night Friday. I loved the simple joy of watching the girls swing, the sun shining in their hair. They looked so carefree! And their swings kept almost colliding, which made them giggle and laugh like crazy. You would have thought they were at an amusement park ride!
Here is Annie riding her trike today. She just learned to ride it and she is SO PROUD! We rode around our apartment complex, then packed up all the bikes and went to this park with a trail by the lake. The sun was out and there was a nice breeze. Chris went on ahead with Emma and I walked beside annie. She was so cute, we kept getting really nice smiles from the peole we passed.
My friend Thomas just got back from France and he brought me these absolutely luscious chocolates! Certainly the best I have ever had. I am trying to ration them, but it is hard.The point of this post is that yes, I am having a really hard time right now. But even so, there are rays of light that ocassionaly come shining through the darkness and i try to bask in them whenever i can. I wanted to take a break from posting about all the drama, and to let you know that there is a part of me that is still fighting to believe that life is good, and that joy can be found every day if you stop to notice it.
Love and peace to you all.
