Reflections

I just finished watching 'The Longest Ride' with my husband. Yes, I realize it had been over two years since my last blog 😳! It was probably one of the best movies I have ever seen. It couldn't come at a better time. 

We were married on June 26th this year. Our girls are now almost 18, 14, and 6. They are blooming before our eyes and there is nothing I can do about it. I feel the older ones finding their way in this world and can only hope I have influenced them to make the right choices that lead them to fulfillment and happiness. It terrifies me that I haven't done enough and that I have done the wrong things. They are amazing girls and I pray every day that this world is kind to them.

Happily ever after is a finicky thing. I find us at times in the dark with both hands on the walls trying to find our way. Life deals us interesting hands and at times I can't seem to call its bluff. Luckily Brandon is a rock that steadies me and shows me that what we share is true and deeply rooted. We have made it through quite a bit and times are definitely tough right now. Sometimes when you're world is spinning it is best to stand still and anchor to a rock. There are two things I know to be true...I absolutely need honesty and love in my life and I can never guess what tomorrow will bring.

For now I will stand still and let life unfold. For now I will begin writing a book and let my imagination unfold. For now I will allow my children to make their choices and cling to hope they are the best ones for them. For now....
