So as I sit here and relax and ponder tonight I think of the state of MY union. The Union of my little family. A facebook acquaintance of mine posted this question as her status today:
How many of you are doing what you want with your life? If you could do whatever you wanted to do without judgement or hurting anyone, are you doing right now what you dream of doing? Right now not in the future. Just curious?
I thought a bit about what my answer was. This is what I said:
Great question! Yes you really just made my day and I am teary eyed. I did not marry till 37 and Eric was 40, first marriage for both of us. It took us 5 years of many fertility treatments, pregnancy, miscarriage of... twins, living in 4 states -,in 6 years, being married for almost 9 years to get to this moment today. Where we have a beautiful (high energy, stubborn and brilliant) daughter who will soon be four. Great friends, great neighborhood and I am a stay at home mom. The only other thing I would be doing is volunteering at a crisis pregnancy center and that is in my plan to do. For now, this moment I am doing exactly what I want and am truly in a "happy place"! Thanks for your question and making me think about it and appreciate it this morning.
As I sit here tonight pondering the State of OUR Union, Our family, I am blessed. On those tough days, I need to be reminded of this. This is what I prayed for many years. Eric is what I needed and what God planned for me. Savannah is a miracle story for us. As I sit here tonight enjoying my glass of Gewurztraminer (Pelee Island) and wishing that is where we could spend more time, I am grateful. I know that when I lay my head on my pillow tonight that I am in a happy place with the state or OUR Union!
