"...if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."
Ferris Bueller had it right. Life does move pretty fast.
Days like today make me realize the importance of each moment. Why, just yesterday I was pregnant with Maggie... walking up Boot Hill twice a day cos I read that walking gets labor moving. I read that spicy food did too so the eve of her birth we had just finished stripping wallpaper off the kitchen of our newly moved into home (2 weeks). The nesting instinct is not a joke, no mistake! I shook lavish amounts of Cholula hot sauce on my tostada that night and 2 hours later I was in labor. Heh.
Life is fast paced and I don't always take the time to slow down and live in the present. "Never wish time away" says my friend Big Andy. I take cues from my Maggie... there is an older couple with a huge rose garden which is on our walking path to/from school. Sometimes we stop and well, cliche as it is.... smell the flowers.
Today is the last day of second grade for my Bodhisattva. Maggie is a wonder to me. She is everything I wish I was and hope to be. She is kind, intelligent, altruistic, empathetic, brave, strong and beautiful inside and out. I am blessed to be on a great journey with her ...this adventure called life.
Now.. a few photos of the last day of second grade....
