Some much needed Sunshine
>> Saturday, April 4, 2009
After yesterday's somewhat "dark" day, we all needed a little bit of sun. Lucky for us, God blessed us with a beautiful Chicago spring day (well, morning at least- it got cold in the afternoon). We took full advantage and ran an errand to the plant nursery and had lunch and park-playtime with some friends. I think all of us needed to exhale and then breathe deep the fresh smell of spring. It was refreshing to the soul. And even though Lucas had a near-meltdown at naptime, it was still a very good day. And I will take them however I can get them. :)
Oh, and one more thing. Thank you to all of you who sent encouraging comments and e-mails my way today. I can always depend on y'all to pick me up out of my slump and give me some fresh perspective. It helped me see that Lucas and I are really doing ok. We have a very special bond, my son and I. And if I can just learn to stay calm when my frustration starts to build, it will go a long way in teaching him how to do the same. And that will make life better for everyone. Thanks y'all. Love to you!

Love you, Farrah Bearah!
I was just telling Elizabeth (when she was out here on a whirlwind visit last weekend) about how blessed I've been seeing you several times this past year - and also of some of what we were "visiting" when you were out here all those years ago (cough cough, the real world house, for one! Ha ha). I hope sometime soon we can play with your boys in the SoCal sunshine!
I love you and miss you!

Farrah, staying calm in the face of frustration is my biggest challenge as a mother. I think most moms deal with this on some level. Hang in there, you are an amazing mama!!
