I woke up this morning feeling lazy wishing I was sailing on Utah Lake
(or anywhere) with
my family, and Mr. Nielson.
Tonight, Mr. Nielson and I took the family for a Cafe Rio picnic by the river.
I lay on Mr. Nielson's stomach while the children ran around and played.
Then I began feeling
melancholy for several reasons:
My life feels like that river rushing so swiftly.
I don't want my children to grow up.
I don't want these lazy afternoons to ever go stop.
This may sound morbid, but I don't want my parents to ever die.
And, I am grateful for my life. So grateful!
I just love where we are right now- even with pending health concerns,
I am totally completely happy and grateful and I don't want anything to change.
Today I felt grateful while Jane explained to me her wish to fly like a bird someday. (She sounds just like her father).
I felt grateful as I watched Claire help Ollie out of the tree that he was climbing.
I was grateful when I was able to make Nicholas stop crying
by making him laugh.
And it was watching Mr. Nielson fix the garbage disposal.
