Life goes on, one great and one messy thing at a time. It’s normal. It’s ubiquitous.
Over the past week, I accompanied my HH to Huntington Beach, CA where he had a conference. To make the trip efficient, we prevailed upon our daughter #2 to schedule her wisdom teeth extraction for this week so we could care for her. That’s the life part.
The messy part is that daughter #2 experienced discomfort, sleepiness, and difficulty eating all the great varieties of foods. She was VERY brave, compliant, and accommodating to us, thus healing a lot by the week’s end.
As my conscience reveals, there are pieces of life that are grand, sparkly and wonderful; AND, there are parts that are messy: not glamorous, not easy, not fun, but necessary. I accept this and treasure it all, as part of life.
I am grateful for the week with our daughter and my hubby. I enjoyed the sun, the ocean, the sand, some great food, some deep conversations and a lovely hotel with an ocean view.
Back at home, as I settle in, I breathe deeply in my ✨sparkly✨ life and the splendor of it; and exhale the gratitude in my heart for all things beautiful, generous, and genuine.
Aloha🌴,
Denise
