I have been having the most amazing week with the kids. I can't believe it's only been 3 days that I've been off of work: I feel like a whole new person! I sleep at night, get up refreshed, have tons of energy during the day, and I'm not so short-tempered as I have been .

This all proves to me that I'm going in the right direction in my life. I had forgotten how calm and serene life can be when you're feeling positive about every aspect. Even in the midst of possible turmoil (i.e. Roo's abdominal issues) I find myself feeling very centered and able to concentrate on the other wonderful things going on.

I am so blessed to get this glimpse into what can be...
