On Friday, lovely Marsha stopped by and spent a few hours holding babies, washing little hands, playing a sorting game, threading Fruit Loops onto yarn and talking. I so enjoy having adult conversations. She told me one of the many "it could be worse" stories that everyone seems to have. She is right. I have much to be grateful for - beautiful children, health, ability and strength, my faith and a supportive family, on both sides. We talked about the importance of integrity. We ate BLS's. I love my friends and I love dry Fruit Loops. Just in case you wondered.
I am a busy Mormon mother with three children from my first marriage and four bonus children in New York. I am a child of God. I am blessed with three wonderful extended families and many amazingly talented friends. I work full-time in a dental office and we live in a little 1940's rental just five blocks from the public library.
I adore Oregon.
I am happy. I am busy. I am loved.
I may be changed by what has happened to me, but I will not be diminished by it. Maya Angelou
"Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don’t know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishing." -Anais Nin
