Day 26- "Sweet Light"

Unedited- behind "his" parents' house on Christmas night, the sky really was these colors.  Phenomenal moment in time.

Month 2, Day 1...First Things First...

First things first...

My firstborn, who I at times (like all mothers) feel was born last week, is in the narrowing down process for colleges...and this pretty much consumes me- between financial aid applications and scholarship applications and getting taxes completed to qualify for this and that and visiting schools (logged 900 miles these past two days)...my first things first priority is helping her through the process, knowing when to guide, when to let her decide, or when to just tell her...learning to and accepting I have to let go a whole lot, and to not lose focus on the rest our family and our life at home.  

Habit...Day 29

habit

wake up and brush teeth

shower, make-up, dressed and down

coffee, catch up, go

Day 8- "Silent"

I think every mother knows that if you had known that it was the last time you would experience such a sweet silence you would have made it last longer.  I don't think I would have wanted to know, but there are days I would just love to make them small and and hold them so close again.  They are my heart and soul.
