Peaceful Moments

My Favorite Quote About Life

happiness is a journey, not a destination...
for a long time it seemed to me
that life was about to begin --real life,
but there was always some obstacle in the way,
something to be gotten through first,
some unfinished business,
time still to be served, a debt to be paid.
at last it dawned on me
that these obstacles were my life.
this perspective has helped me to see
there is no way to happiness.
happiness is the way.
so treasure every moment you have
and remember that time waits for no one.

My boy was here yesterday, it's funny, because I can hardly remember a time before he was born. He has a contagious smile, a crazy sense of humor -- he's only 17 1/2
months old. I tell him he's rotten he only shakes his head yes, how could he not be with his sissy (aunt Sarah) and his nutty Nana. You can pretend to be asleep, you know with that snorting snoring sound and he'll run over to wake you up and in the next minute he'll run and lay his head down and do the same thing so you will wake him up. When your children grow up -- it seems you are no longer needed and are a little lost, because you feel as though you have been someones mother forever and you can't cut that off, there's not a button or a pill for that. You're a little lost and lonely -- and then an angel named Collin comes and finds you -- you are no longer lost or lonely you are filled to the brim with excitement and overwhelmed with a love that you had only heard existed and now you know, and now you understand.
