Sunshine

I am currently sitting on my porch, feeling the warm sunshine and just taking a deep breath. I am looking all around, at our house, our yard, our neighbors, trying to mentally capture the images. I am remembering what my flower beds look like in the warm summer air, and how much I love sitting and just looking at the greenery and the vibrant colors of the flowers. I am thinking and reflecting on our life in this house, in this town. Being a little emotional, being a lot nostalgic. The memories are good. Building this house, starting our family, bringing our two beautiful babies home. The fun times we had as a couple and then as a family. At the same time, I am also excited about this once in a lifetime adventure we are about to embark on. I hope that it is good for my family, that it brings us all even closer than we already are, that we experience things that we will all remember forever. Yes, I am thinking......as I sit here in the sun....about the past and about what the future will hold. I needed this sunshine today. I needed to feel the warmth from it. In our very busy last week in this house, in this town, I needed a moment to just sit, relax and reflect. To not be making a list, packing a suitcase or worrying about something. Just taking a breath.
