Gut Check

Thank you Nate for waking me at 5:45am the last three days to tell me you were ready to go to camp. Tie dye shirt, milk-mustache, pool towel and all.
Thank you LJ for telling anyone who would listen, that you were getting to go to camp... and it was splash day. And you were enthralled and all systems go!
Thank you yoga students encouraging me and asking me for the source of my reading in last night's class because it really resonated with you.
Thank you breath, for helping me manage the stress of our closings tomorrow and Friday. And did I mention the move to a new house?
Thank you new friendships.
Thank you school speech therapist, Mrs. B, for teaching me how to use a new communication device for LJ... in your personal time after the school year was completed.
Thank you to my husband who is learning to flow with all that is, and embracing the changes.
Thank you summer cold for reminding me not to charge forward without making the choice to take care of myself first.
Thank you new house for opening my heart to the possibilities and hope in the dreams I have for my beautiful, future life.
Thank you bravery that surrounds us all.
Thank you family and friends from around the world who support and encourage us to stay resilient and grow, even in the face of adversity.  I feel rich with your love and support.
Thank you moment to moment, because "nothing lasts forever"...the bad times nor the good times...I'm learning to be present in the moment, gut check and all & I am so thankful!!

Oh, and thank you hard drive crashing and pronouncing itself "done and done" so I can unplug for a few weeks till we get settled in the new digs:)

  1. Hi, Jenn. It's been forever! Congrats on your new home. I just caught up on back posts, and saw LJ powering around in his wheelchair. He looks GREAT!!! Glad he is getting into communication devices, the iPad and Proloquo2Go have been game-changers for Max.
