Today

Today was a good day because...



I saw with my own eyes and felt with my own heart the love my eldest son has for his Mom.

I heard my husband say for the 1st time in a really long time that he,"wasn't sure..."

I felt appreciated and respected by "The Village". aka my son's amazing teachers.

I let go of my crutch and put weight on 2 very strong legs.

I accomplished more today than I have accomplished in 3 very long and lonely weeks.

I watched, with my 2 eyes, the work of a very organized, precise, and efficient man figure out what needed to be done and what it would take to get it done.

I woke to see the sun rise and the birds sing.

I took a deep breath and thought about what I said before I said it.

I read something along the lines of, "Slow down and look at the beauty that surrounds you" on a church billboard on my way to and from town. Kind of puts a kabash on the crap mood situation.

I rolled the windows down and turned the music up and sang off key.

I held my daughter's hand and told her it was ok to cry and be sad.

I folded little clothes that hold little bodies that will someday appreciate folded laundry. Maybe.

I hugged 2 dear Mama friends that I haven't seen or talked to in a really long and asked them whole hearted how they were, and meant it.

I remembered to say hello to that girl that I see in the mirror and I gave her a high five.

Today was a good day.

My love, all my love,
Cassy
