Today is day 5 of 5 of the Positive Challenge my dear friend Lynda passed onto me. It has been nice to take the pause, to lift up my head and take stock of the amazing people, big and small, and the moments and memories they have given me. While I am generally a positive and energetic person by nature, I know that in recent months it has been harder to give thanks and appreciation easily and willingly. Life is a journey and ever-evolving...peace in your life is not a given but something to strive and work for. Today I challenge Cheryl Conkin Lightle, Nicole Driscoll and Jennifer Hipwell Johnston to take the challenge! Today I give thanks for the three little people who call me Mom. I am so blessed by each of them and for all they give me. As much as they challenge me and drive me nuts, they, along with their Dad, are truly the light, the love and the hope in my life. 1) Markus - my amazing little man who is growing into this determined, focussed and wonderful young man right before my eyes. The patience you are showing me as we wait for the high school decision to come is inspiring. I love that he is comfortable in his own skin and willing to take on challenges. 2) Joey- my wonderfully emotional and fiery middle boy. I love that he is forging his own path that is unique to him. Finding special moments to share with him has led to some great times. What a tender and caring heart...that he give so freely...and that stands in contrast to the competitive and fierce drive we see on the sports field. I stand in awe. 3) Leilah - my sweet baby girl. What joy and love for life we see radiating from your heart. I love the way your eyes sparkle in delight and that you find laughter and fun wherever you go. Watching you shine and embrace each day is motivating and encouraging. Life is good...I needed the reminder.
