   This year has had its fair share of ups and downs. The highs have incredible but the lows have really been down there this year. This week is unfortunately yet another downward turn. Last night though, laying in bed next to my husband who works so very hard for our family and gives us his everything and then watching our son snuggled up between us smiling and feeling safe and secure and completely content with life was a beautiful reminder. Here we are, our stomachs in knots and foreheads creased from stress…and then there is our son…oblivious to it all and just happy to be in our arms. Immediately my heart was warmed and a sense of peace and calm crept into my soul. My son has it right, as long as we are all safe and healthy and with each other that is all the reason we need to smile. The world could fall to pieces all around us but none of it really matters. My beautiful family is the most precious gift I’ve ever received and I’m grateful for every moment I have with them. They bring light to the darkest of times and peace in the midst of chaos and uncertainty. This too shall pass and we will be closer and stronger because of it. Until then we will hold on tight to one another as we bounce along on this crazy beautiful ride that is life.
