I Can See Clearly Now 
Jimmy Cliff 


 I can see clearly now the rain is gone. 
I can see all obstacles in my way. 
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind. 
It's gonna be a
bright
bright
sunshiny day. 



What a difference a few miles makes -
from the frost on the car windows when I started out,
to the warm embrace of a sunshiny day.

I embarked on a visit with with one child in need of focus and guidance while at the same time providing long-distance breathe coaching to another embarking on a first real job interview.
Don't talk to me about multitasking - I'm a mom.  It's what we do.  It's who we are.
In my years I've realized that there is no such thing as stability,
merely periods of static chaos which we affectionately refer to as "calm".
Embrace them.
There is a saying (or part of a saying) "don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines."
Nar a day goes by that I don't raise a silent prayer.
Rain or shine.

the temporary nature of existence
is that this too shall pass
(thank God!)

  5. What a beautiful country road! I'm with you on the calm verses chaos thing. I guess it isn't a verses thing, it's just chaos in varying degrees. Glad you can still be a support to your babies!

  12. I can only imagine those calms in between... then again, I've got a pretty good imagination.

    That first picture is wonderful. I always wanted to shoot frosted windows, but got lucky enough not to have any ;)
