Surviving the Storms

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas. I pray that your day is filled w/ love and wonderous times with family & friends.

is very difficult.

Of course it makes time appear to go by so much slower.

I try to get past the thoughts and the moments of the anxious awaiting, but they reappear so quickly.

The flip-flop and fluttering moments of my heart remind me constantly of what will soon happen.

The lump in my throat comes and goes.

The tear drops have welled up in my eyes so many times these past months and even more so this week as the wait is almost over.

We are now down from months and weeks and days to just hours. The anxiousness is so apparent. I seem on edge, but not in the irritable way, just on edge of the world as I await my world to be complete again.

sometimes make longer days.

S is feeling so much better. Then M started in on his fever. We went to the doctor today and he has some sort of virus… which means they have no clue why he’s spiking a fever and why his throat hurts. To top that off, my sinuses are horrible right now!! UGH!! Germs go away! Stay away. Bring back some sunshine and warm weather again, just for a couple of days. PLEASE?!?!?!

In all reality, I love this time of year – the colder, crisper days. The white snowflakes, the beauty of the day. The natural sun that shines through my front window and warms the room…but the sun hasn’t shone in many days now. Snow is great, but mix it with some sunshine.

Yes, I am doing a great job of contradicting myself. It happens.
