My third child and first daughter Racheal turns 28 today. She was my easiest birth. Woke up with some moderate contractions at 1:00am and had her at 3:17am. No stitches and she was perfect. Pink and round 7lb 9oz. She has added such joy to my life I am in awe of her most of the time.
She is at a place in her life at 28 that took me till the age of 40 to get to and she continues to grow and change. I made a Rainbow chip cake to take over tonight. I went and watched my three oldest boys play two baseball games today. They won the tournament and I just love watching them play-still. Their dad was there as well and it's such a blessing that we can be friends and share the joys of the children even though our marriage did not succeed as parents we do now. Just because people do not make it as a couple does not mean they cannot be friends and have a different kind of relationship. Accepting people as they are is the key to unconditional love.
I have gotten a new job at a Men's Shelter that provides emergency housing, short term and works with those coming out of corrections and on parole. I am so excited to be starting something new. 4 weeks I get to fly out and see my sister in Castlegar B.C. and I am missing her so much and look forward to our time together, although it will be too short and go too fast.
Went to a few yoga classes in the past week and in one of the classes had Mom come to me at the end of class in meditation. She looked about 18 to me and I felt a sense of joy and swirling colours of white, purple and blue and swirling around me like a gentle tornado. She felt light to me and slightly different, but it was over very quickly. I am filled with gratitude. Pictures of cake to follow.
