Now

I woke up early today to walk Morg to school. I feel so fortunate to be able to experience this morning ritual. I know that she feels just as happy as I do when we walk hand in hand to her class. She is so amazing and kind-hearted. I love her more than anything in the world. I dropped her off, then returned to her class an hour later to do my volunteer work. I absolutely love being around children. The happiness they exude never fails to brighten my day.

When I got home, I helped my chatita with her lessons, and later gave her a bath. Since it was such a beautiful day, I decided that we would have our lunch at the park across the street. I made sandwiches, and packed other goodies to take. The warm sunshine embraced me, as I watched a monarch butterfly move gracefully through the trees. I listened intently to the sound of children laughing, and watched as a kite flew freely in the sky. I was overflowing with joy to be able to experience all of these things. I realize now more than ever how incredibly fortunate I am to be alive.

Later, I made spaghetti and meatballs for dinner. When we were finished eating, Chris and I went to the driving range. It was my first time, and I must say that I truly enjoyed the experience. I will definitely go again soon. Ashley sent me a text to let me know that she and I would be going to the shooting range upon her return from Chicago. I can't wait!
