Bittersweet

I feel "five" coming fast.  


And while I look upon this changing creature with awe and slight panic, I greatly respect and adore the little person she's becoming.


She's not a baby anymore. It makes my heart do funny, wistful somersaults.  But her path is just sheer beauty unfolding in front of me.  Even the mess-ups and the mix-ups.  It's all beautiful.  It's an honor to be a part of it, a blessing to help guide her.

She is so very pretty! I can't believe she's almost 5! Been wondering about you, and I think I 'lost' you for awhile (I even googled your former blog name because I was in a state of confusion, which is a normal condition for me.. lol!). Glad to find you again.. hope all is well! -Tammy
