Today feels like a Monday morning. \u00a0I stayed awake waaay too late last night. \u00a0Woke with a headache and the sun was really bright today.<\/p>\n

Then the phone rang\u2026and the doorbell.<\/p>\n

A Surprise Visit from MOM!!! \u00a0YAY! \u00a0Really, it\u2019s been too long since I\u2019ve seen Mom. \u00a0You know how life fills up and you end up not being able to let go of all of the daily routine and work that goes along with parenting and family keeping and working. \u00a0The next thing you know, it\u2019s been waay too long since you\u2019ve visited. \u00a0So, the best visits are the surprise ones. \u00a0Just, chuck it all out the window for a few hours and visit. \u00a0 I hope it happens more often.<\/p>\n

The other surprise I woke up to this morning was a lovely comment at the end of the \u201cAwkward Questions\u201d post. \u00a0I don\u2019t know if anyone but me gets notified when someone posts a new comment, but there is a wonderful note from Ahmed. \u00a0Go and take a look. \u00a0It gives me hope that I\u2019m not ruining my children\u2019s lives by following my own spiritual journey. \u00a0I hope he will continue to write and maybe, have his mother join us.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m off to make jewelry and do laundry. \u00a0I tell you the first is definitely more enjoyable than the last. \u00a0I am truly blessed to be busy today.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
