2014 is ready. Pick it up! ((ding))
2013 was beautifully exhausting.
Joaquin went through some tough times, which led to us going through some tough times. It beat us to a pulp at times and forced us to rebuild. Repeatedly. Our little man is now growing and smiling more. Running all through the house (usually with items he aquires by stealing from Izzy when she's not looking and having her chase him for them), eating everything in sight and giggling at the mere threat of tickling coming his way.
Izzy went through some pretty epic tantrums and meltdowns and flipped our world, as we knew it, upside down. She reminded us that little people (well, people in general) are ever changing and if we think we know what the next action/reaction will be, we got another thing coming. She is also becoming one of the most loving, attentive, brilliant and unavoidably beautiful little girls in the world. Every day she humbles me and reminds me about how perfectly pure human nature is w/out life's jading. Every single day she makes me smile. Sometimes, I find myself selfishly dreaming of a world with just her and I running, playing, singing, hugging and just being because she lights up our world *that* much.
Cowboy becomes a better man, every single day. He reminds me that I can keep on improving on who I am and not becoming stagnant. That Communication heals wounds and breeds understanding. That we're capable of bigger things than what's just in our default state of contentedness.
We are blessed. We're healthy. Happy. Surrounded by Love, Family, Friends and Life. No matter where we live, how much money we have in the bank, what we're wearing, what our bodies look like or what we've accomplished each day, Life is good. No ifs, ands or buts.
Thank you for humbling me, 2013. I probably needed it.
Love,
me
(ps, please remind me to re-read this and meditate a bit when I am in my head, throwing an adult tantrum about inconsequential unfairness of whatever I may choose to dwell on at times)
