Today I had the kids by myself along with the help of the lovely 75 Irish grandmother (who is hilarious and reminds me of Robin Williams impersonation of an old scottish lady) I dropped the spunky 2 yr old off at daycare and after feeding the baby, putting him to bed I was able to drive to Target (a 15 minute drive away!). As I was driving I looked around at the picturesque setting of houses amidst a forest of trees with the ocean breeze coming in from a few miles away. I saw the sun beaming through the trees and it hit me...."This is my new home"
Of course, Vegas will always be my first home and there is not other place like it, but Atlantic Highlands is now my new home. However; it hit me that it's like life in general. Earth, is not our first home but it is our current home. We are to make the best of it and work hard at everything we do, even if it tires us out and makes us hold our tongue when all we want to do is yell. We are to be a part of this world, but never forget where we come from.
For the next 6 months to a year I am going to practice this til I know I'm a professional: Working hard, being patient, and smiling through all the moments I want to cry.
Blessings!
