Blessings & Baby Jeeze

Sitting on the landing of our stairs tonight, I took a moment to let in the silence. Above me Emily was sleeping and below me was our lovely home. I smiled...actually, I smiled so big I became a little self-conscious. Realizing that it was just me and Otho (the cat) I allowed myself to take in the peaceful joy that surrounded me. Even now as I type this, I am overwhelmed by this feeling...a realization actually...the realization of the many blessings that are in my life.

• The consuming love that I am able to feel for and show Emily.
  
• Emily's love, commitment, smile, humor, kindness...the list goes on.


• Everyday I am told and shown that I am loved.


• Laughter. Each and everyday we laugh.


• My family: Emily, Karon, Toni, Steve, Ferryn, Amanda, Mindy, Aunt Carolyn, Pappaw, Karter, Bella, Otho, Monster, and even Gertie.


• The warmth that fills our home.


• Emily likes to snuggle when she sleeps.


• Enduring friendships.


• Bella smiles every time she sees me.


• The kindness, prayers, love, emails, letters, and support (emotional and financial) that so many people have shared.


• My Therapists: Robert, Richard, and Ikea. (A girls got needs ya know.)


• The best pizza in the world is only a mile from my house and costs $1.5o per slice.


• Framboise.


• The support of my team, who have made it possible for me to take a leave of absence to focus on the care of my mother.


• Al-Anon (Never thought I'd say that.)


• Our new bedding. Love it.


• Excellent health insurance. If you've got it be thankful. If it's good...get on your knees and thank The Sweet Baby Jeeze or at least your CEO cause man it's a hard-knock life for those who ain't got it.

The list goes on. The point is I am happy. Despite all that may be difficult right now, I am truly happy. This is my life...here with Em in Houston. Thank you Sweet Baby Jeeze, for everything.
