This is where I come... to breathe... to find calm amidst the storm that I call living... to process the challenges thrown my way...

Follow along. Maybe you'll find a fresh breeze, or a calm spring day, or a challenge for yourself.

A Bundle of Joy

This afternoon, I had the pleasure of visiting one of my best friends at the hospital and meeting her day-old son.  Titus was, of course, precious. 

It was a joy to hear her express the experience of giving birth to me.  I had the privilege of being in the room when my niece was born five years ago.  Hearing the description of Titus' birth just reminded me how vastly different the experience can be for different women.

Holding Titus (after he came back from "testing"), I was amazed at the bundle of joy in my arms.  His skin was absolutely beautiful.  His expressions were adorable as he reacted to voices and lights around him. 

I enjoyed the few minutes I got to hold him.  And I look forward to being a part of his life.  I am excited to watch my friend enter into motherhood and am eager to see her grow and experience all there is to experience in raising a little one.  I smile at the thought of him scooting along the floor 8 or so months from now...

Yes, he is a bundle of joy.
