~my happy place~

My garden is my happy place, This afternoon I worked in the garden for a couple hours and Lily sat there, happy as can be. I was working away, deep in thought and look over and was amazed at how fast she is growing. When did she become a little girl that can sit up all on her own, eat cherrios, play with dolls and little doll houses? My mood instantly improved and some frustrations about an email that I had recieved and have been thinking about for the last 24 hours seemed to soften. I smiled thinking of what a little angel she is.

I am missing my Will as he left yesterday with Mallary. I know he is having the time of his life and is in very good hands, just wish I was there too! Sam is enjoying being the only son around and a little quiet time.

My Dad left today on a mission trip to India! Prayers for a safe and wonderful trip. I am uneasy having him all the way on the other side of the world. Hurry home Dad.

I am trying to remain positive about a certain situation that our family is dealing with right now, maybe I can talk more about at another time. I think that it is another one of life's lessons that we as a family can learn from and then move on. I joked with my Mom the other day that I need to tattoo the "Serenity Prayer" to the inside of my wrist. I am such a worrier and it is something that I am always working on. I have heard this quote in the past and today I think that it really is true.
