The Beat Goes On

My heart is often heavy and my feelings very raw.  Memories of my mom surface at rather inopportune moments.  But there are days in a row when things feel very normal.  Yes, life goes on.  There has been a lot of life happening around here in the last month.

Ellie got her first haircut.

Wren discovered her feet and is still super cute.

There were good evening kisses.

And good times in the dirt.

 Climbing trees with her best friend.

Spending time with my rock of a husband.

We've had some really great dates.

Wandering in Central Park.

Eating Dinosaur BBQ.

Listening to the Philharmonic at Lincoln Center.

Finding beauty in surprising places.

So many times I have thought to myself,

It is good to be alive.

So very very good.
