There Is Sunshine In My Soul

A year ago I would have been

laying in bed on a Saturday

morning, enjoying my

opportunity to sleep in. This

Saturday morning was a little

different. Instead of enjoying

the luxury of sleeping in, I was

sitting in my glider with my

precious little son in my arms.

As I sat there and looked down

into his calm sleeping face, I

the opportunity to stop and  

reflect on my life. A year ago,

I was busy with school and busy

with the fear that I would never

have the opportunity to be a

mother. It amazes me how much

life can change in a short amount

of time. Instead of being a full

time student, I am now a full time

mother and I have learned that full

time definitely describes the life of

a mother. I love being a mother. It

is very difficult and challenging

but it is also wonderful! I think the

the picture above my parents’ piano

sums it up best. “I never said it

would be easy, I only said it would

be worth it.” One of my greatest

dreams has come true. However,

I hope I never take it for granted.

I hope I never forget the two and

a half years that we could not get

pregnant. As hard as they were,

they also taught me a lot. Funny

how trials seems to work that way.

It is only when we look back that

we can see how much growth

came from a certain trial. So

instead of sleeping this morning,

I was overwhelmed with gratitude

for all of my blessings. I have a

a wonderful husband that I love

with all my heart. A sweet little

boy that will always be my little

miracle that arrived whole and

healthy. I am surrounded by

wonderful family and friends.

It is Saturday which means that

Scott is home. The birds are

singing outside. TODAY IS

GOING TO BE A GREAT DAY!!!
