Health and Happiness.
That is what my whole life is about. I have spent years being an emotional wreck or moving mountains or keeping balance. I am 52 (still) and I am so glad for the little miracles that make up health and happiness that have brought me to the place I am now.
Then, health and happiness meant:
-going to the gym at 6:00am
-fitting into my pants without elastic
-dinner ready on time
-all the children out of diapers
-making enough money
-all the kids behaving in church
-no fighting
-raising the kids to be responsible
-trying not to get mad
Now it means:
-being able to tie my shoes without a written plan
-fitting into my pants with elastic
-dinner
-knowing I am not in diapers yet
-still struggling with the money
-all the kids (and their kids) in church
-getting everyone together
-not being able to stop smiling
-trying to live up to the excellence of my amazing kids
When I write it out, it does not say what I really feel and on a blog, the wet spots from the teardrops are not visible. Health and Happiness--what a great name for this blog. It reminds me of all that we have together.
Be healthy, be happy, and know that you are both!!

Mom-- this was beautiful. I love it. A woman's journey!!! :) I can see myself not having that one perfect life in the years to come like we always think we will have, but being a little weathered, experienced, and we'll laugh at things a lot more! I love ya. Thanks for this post, loved it.

Yes, this was beautiful. As I watch your beautiful family, I wonder what my family will look like twenty years down the road. Hopefully much health and happiness too.
