That special place for me is California. I can feel my heartbeat slow down and a sense of freedom takes over as I step out from the LAX airport. At my grandmother's, there are no schedules, no rush to get things done. It's all about laying out at the beach, the sting of the sun on your skin when you wake up at 10am. I gather up my surf board and towel and head out for the day with absolutely no agenda. Its heavenly. Sometimes I wonder why God didn't pass on to me fortune. Like a large inheritance that would allow me to do nothing but play and sunbathe in California. It's funny when I think about Liam and how a baby learns. He picks things up and puts them in his mouth, swashing them around his tongue leaving a surface of slobber. I feel like sometimes that's what I'm doing in my life, of course, in a metaphorical sense. Sometimes I get to pick up a soft, cool textured teether and really enjoy a good mouthing of the experience. Other times, it's like I stuck my mouth on an electrical outlet. The good news is, God is allowing me to learn and sometimes, He spoils me and shows me the good in life. Like the feel of the cool ocean swirling through my hair when I dive through an oncoming wave. Other times, I think he sits back and says to Himself 'Well, okay, but you should know better…' ZAP! I definitely don't let Liam put his mouth on an electrical outlet. I feel so honored to show him 'the ropes.' I hope that with my scatter brained life, I can pass on some wisdom- to Liam, my husband, my family and friends. I hope that when they look to me they think, wow, she is a God fearing woman. I am thankful for the ups and downs, life is amazing. And just a little quote for thought… 'Our emotions are like waves. They are always coming, but you must choose which ones to surf.'
