The calm after the storm


It is the calm after the storm. I feel a rainbow where there once were clouds, and while my Spirit dances in gratitude, my mind speculates on the next disaster.


I almost forgot how to post! The past few months have forever changed me and my family. I am still looking for the silver lining and will probably forever be chasing it. We are happy and healthy. We love our new home (and the fact that we sold our old one), it is so much fun to be out of town and in our own part of the world. Thank you for all your prayers. One of the biggest things I have learned about myself is that I "like" being a mom, and I am good at it. Work is no longer my identity. The bad thing I have learned (one of them) is that we as moms and women feel like we have to explain ourselves when we decide that mothering is probably the best thing we should be doing. I love my babies and I missed lots, now I am here because I choose to be- there I said it!!
I will be glad today for the clouds or the rainbows. Both are meant for my good. And without both, neither has meaning.
