This morning marked the 4th official “run” (more like a fast walk at this point) post delivery of G. I’m so glad I didn’t give into the many tempting thoughts to ‘throw in the towel’ because today was significantly less traumatic to the heart and legs! I walked in the front door with so much joy and energy to start the day and embrace whatever challenges may come. Not bad for 6am. What a difference some fresh air, endorphins released and 15 minutes all to myself makes! Didn’t have time to take my hot shower I was looking forward to this time but a few minutes after grabbing my cup of coffee, I hear a cheerful voice calling out “mommy I need you pleeease” It’s going to be a great day!
ahh yes, I was right…a gorgeous, sunny day, perfect for a picnic under our tree out front and some one-on-one time with Alizea playing with an assortment of bubbles for over an hour! This is the life.
Marisa, Indeed, "the life!!" How proud I am of you as I witness the incredible mom you are. I am "blown away" at your keen awareness of what is important and your ability to savor every detail of your children's development. Thank you for these two gifts to my life.
