commemoration
I thought a little bit on my walk in to work today about how similar today was to five years ago. I had walked to work that day, too, although my walk was almost four miles then. I had been on the phone with my family back east, coincidentally, although I had only the slightest inkling of anything being wrong. I was feeling good about the beautiful fall weather, my fairly new (past two weeks) job, and my brand new (past few days) car. I was stretching my legs and loving life and then I heard of the most horrible things in the world. It didn't hit me as deep as so many others, being three thousand miles away, but the sheer senselessness of it all covered the distance just as clearly. My heart did, and still does, go out to all those who suffered both small and great losses.
My life is again filled with positive commemorations. 30 years of living, 5 years of employment, and last Thursday marked 4 years since I got married. I suppose it's inherent in the phase of life I'm going through to be a little bit reflective, but what I really think of the most is how grateful I am to have so many blessings. She had another doctor visit last week, and mother and baby are both doing super. We went to the hospital yesterday to get the orientation on what to do when the day arrives. Life is going to change *a lot* come November.
