Happy New Year

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL

We are back and getting into our non-holiday mode. We had a nice Christmas with family, good eats and great gifts. I will explain some of the gifts in more detail in future posts.

This has been a year of real discovery. I believe we are finally settling into a lifestyle of natural learning that works well for us. I feel calm and confident with our choices. Musa and Retta are thriving and seem so happy.

I am confident of one thing as I enter into this year.....(on March 14th of this year, I will have been a Mom for 30 years)....I will always be learning and growing as a Mom and as a person and as a family. I will face new challenges. I will climb emotional mountains. I will keep my body moving. I will keep my mind open. I will laugh. I will grieve. I will throw my arms in the air and give up at least twice. I will fight for my minority rights. I will love. I will observe. I will be exhausted. I will nap. I will speak out against injustice. I will ask questions. I will not care what is going on in the world for at least 5 days. I will write. I will sew. I will be mindful. I will gossip. I will argue. I will enjoy a doughnut. I will play loud music. I will rake. I will learn. I will listen. I will sit...I will do what I love best, I will be a Mom.

I wish kindness, compassion and joy to all in the coming year.

YEEHAW!
