Time is flying. If life were a stop watch, I would hit the stop button, not for long but for just a few seconds, to stop and take a deep breath. To look around this life of mine and freeze frame everything that surrounds me in that 30 seconds because life is flying by and flying oh so fast.
In seven short days, we will welcome our new little man to this world. I am filled with an abundance of emotions. So many, in fact, it's difficult to formulate the words to even express how I feel. Yet the clock is ticking, and seven days will be here in the shortest whisper of breath.
As we walked through this mornings routine, I wanted to freeze frame my own little moments.
For my Monkey, I realized that while we are in a sticky spot of her exerting her independence, it is also a marvelous thing to watch occur. Especially this morning, as she reminded me of all the things (book orders and privacy folders) to which I have yet to turn into her class. I think my pregnant self is slacking in these last few moments.
And for my Laneydoo, her language is developing so drastically. Yet, today, she still sounds like a baby. I know that sound is fleeting and one day soon I will wake up to a normal toddler voice...sigh!
And in just seven short days, we will enter our new season...
Twists & Turns
It's that moment when you realize your life is full of twists and turns. Your path is laid out before you, on that long winding road, and while you know that's the path you will travel, you still fear it. For it might be a long and arduous path but it will also be filled with the sweetest of victories. You know deep in your soul this road is the one you must take, even when the journey is extremely unclear.
I've realized this is my road and this is my journey. I don't know the end result, or really want to know; where I'll be or what is planned for me, but today I'm moving along my road slowly and steadily. There have been some bumps along the way, there are always bumps. Somehow, that is okay. The bumps and potholes are getting easier to manage. The revelations of life, less shocking and less stressful. More often than not, just joyous. For it's the journey that counts, not the end result.
My tank is full.
I'm ready.
My winding road has some twists and turns ahead but I finally feel equipped and ready for all that road has to offer.
