There were lots of firsts and not all of them were good ones. I gave my first eulogy. I learned to manage my sorrow. BUT I learned a lot from that experience. Life is short and we need to embrace each day as the gift that it is.
My baby started high school with grace and confidence. She learned new routines, made some new friends, and rekindled some old friendships as well. I have no need to worry. Her grades are good. Her confidence is high. Her smiles are present.
A good change is that we got to go homecoming dress shopping. Then shoes. Then nails. Then all the girly discussions about hair, flowers, makeup, toes, glitter. All the fun things! I worried most of the time she was gone, but she came back with big smiles and said it was a fun night full of dancing and laughter.
Onto October. I just had a birthday and so far, I am not feeling older! What do I wish for this year? Peace. Happiness. Good health. Easy living.
I am definitely looking forward to cooler temps. I miss my cocoa, bonfires, leggings and sweaters. In the meantime, I will find new things to relax and enjoy. I will also find new things to worry about. I am sure of it 🤣
