Dear Friends.

It’s an exciting day with the solar eclipse happening and all. The energy is hopping.

Yesterday I went to visit my grandson. As my Son and his Amazing Wife live out of town I don’t get to see my Grandson as much as I would like. I saw him when he was just born and again yesterday he is almost two months and so big and totally adorable. A total blissful little old soul.

I was nervous he wouldn’t like me or scream when he went into my arms but that wasn’t the case he snuggled right in and fell asleep. I must say “Grandma rocked it”!

Seeing my Son and his beautiful Wife handling parenthood was a delight. My young Son being the proud Uncle sent me over the moon with pride. My sister being there with us all as one of my  Grandson’s Great Aunts (and great she is). One of his Grandfathers meeting him for the first time.  It just doesn’t get any better than that.

As you know I have had a year of a “crap” storm and I was extremely ill and almost passed to the other side more than once. It was scary and I was wondering if the pendulum of life would ever come back. I always said to my clients that its all ok as far as the pendulum goes one way it will come back the other way. I was starting to wonder if this were true at all but kept my faith in God’s pendulum.

A couple of months ago I started to feel those little moments of poking my head above water and I realized, for now, I’m out of the woods. The birth of my Grandson really gave me my faith that everything will be ok and I thought wow “look what God can do”. It helped me to start feeling like the old me again.

I’ve changed considerably and I will never get caught up in that chaos ever again and it feels so good. I’m even letting my hair go gray because why not.

When I was holding this little guy in my arms and remembering when I held his father so many years ago in my arms just like that my heart melted and I realized I am so blessed.

When thinking of the last year I think of what my wise younger Son always says to me “everything happens for a reason” and “God gives his toughest  battles to his strongest soldiers”.

I do love God’s pendulum even if its uncomfortable when in motion. As bad as it gets is how good it is going to get.
