Gratitude

I am grateful that everything is not up to me in life because I would short-sightedly put knowing and planning and being in control of everything at the top of my priority list.

If I were in control my house would have sold the very first week we put it up for sale and we would have had to be out and moved by the end of May.

We would have had no time to find another home and would have been displaced and separated for months while we rented a place for Jeffrey to live in DC and the girls and I stayed with family in Utah.

We would have worried about all the details during our recent vacation.

We would have missed the ability to finish so many things: school for Mia, my dance classes and final concert, the wedding I did flowers for a few weeks ago.

I was not ready to go then. I needed some time to come to terms with it. I needed to bring some things to completion. I needed to prepare myself.

While the future is still uncertain, I trust that it will all work out to our best interests.

Because it has so far.

And, I am very grateful, very grateful for how everything is going and how much better it is than I would have planned.

We are very grateful that you were able to stay for the end of dance and your final performance. Betty still thinks that next year she will have to take a plane to your house every Thursday for dance class... sadly that is a little out of my price range.
