It's funny how the strangest things elicit grief as Dan & I make the agonizing decision to move or not to move.
After we got home from the hospital on Wednesday afternoon, I was sitting out on the porch swing, watching Mahalia water the plants & grass. I was walking down memory lane. Wasn't it just 3 1/2 years that we moved into this little house - with it's NASTY yard? And less than a year ago, I got my grass!!!
It's been amazing to watch the transformation of our lives. Not only do we have a really cute yard now, but we've got an amazing church (can you say MIRACLE?), really great friends, a fun dance community, an incredible doctor etc. etc. etc.!!!
So yesterday, when I was smelling the beautiful Jasmine that surrounds us everywhere in SoCal, I was brought to tears.
I love, love, LOVE the smell of Jasmine. It's everywhere here. And literally EVERY day in the spring I stop somewhere & smell it up close.
And the sunshine . . . oh the sunshine! I never tire of you, sunshine. Every day I'm happy to see you!!!
What will I do without my sweet jasmine & sunshine?
Em,
ReplyDeleteI really hear that. And that's the thing- we never really do know what we'll do without our special pleasures and things we appreciate. May your lawn be especially green and the jasmine especially fragrant for you this June.
