feels like spring

Phew... glad to have some more distance from all of that compounded stress.Dont get me wrong, life is still pretty stressful around here, but we are dealing much better :)

We sleep more, my energy levels get better and my ability to cope with pain and stress also gets better with each passing day. I had the hyster in june2010. I've been in pain ever since, in more ways than one. I am feeling happy, with a spring in my step right now, but mainly because I limp from all of my pelvis/lumbar/sacrum issues ;o) but STILL, I feel springy and ready to start clean this year again. Its a wonderful feeling after such a tornado of a two years!!! My little miracle is 2 1/2 and 35 lbs. He talks in full sentences now and loves his dad and copies his every move. Our Tristan fits right in. Its more like having a friend around the house now than it was when he was a baby. I must admit its kinda heartbreaking to no longer call him a baby. But he is the biggest boy now, in such an intelligent and socially aware kinda way. He is awesome... soooo much smarter and healthier and stronger than his daddy or I ever could have expected. I feel so blessed, complete and full. I got the kid I always wanted with the man who always wanted us and we truly appreciate every moment. Its so different when its your only child, so different for us; he is our miracle... we don't get mad as easily and the temptation to be a lazy parent is just not present at all. Its different because we have this engraved appreciation in our hearts and on our wrinkled and pre-aged faces... grief has taught us patience which has taught us love which is now showing us about charity and we have felt the warmth of so much compassion. So many wonderful things have come from enduring a few challenges. It just feels like spring :)
love,

(p.s. Dead batteries, anxiety, stress, time constraints, not wanting to complain too much, etc- These are the reasons I have not been posting. I had to avoid the blog for a while... it has too much emotional pull for me, sometimes. Life has a way of doing things in cycles. Feels like a new cycle for me, we shall see...)
