My dad's laugh...My happy thought

Happy thoughts...they are those moments in your day where everything stops and you become really present with that very moment and all is well in the world. It's a moment of real awareness, appreciation and joy all wrapped up in one.

So, as I look back over my day and specifically recalling all my happy thoughts, there is one that stands out...It was my dad's laugh on the phone when he and Caeden our 2 year old were having a conversation.

Here is the moment...I was in the kitchen with Caeden and I asked him if he wanted to call his Grampy on the phone and tell him what we are going to do when Grampy comes to visit. He said yes, and in his cute little voice and not so clear pronunciation he also said, "Call Frampy"...so we called "Frampy".

My dad came to the phone and I told him that Caeden wanted to talk with him and tell him all the places we were going to take him when he and his wife Dee come to visit us next month. My dad said, "Alright."

So, Caeden got on the phone and he said, "Hi Frampy," and my dad said "Hello" back to him, and I could hear my Dad's smile through the phone. Then Caeden proceeded to say very excitedly, "Zoo Frampy, Zoo"...and you hear my dad laugh, then Caeden said "Park Frampy, Park" and then "Another Park, Frampy"...and you heard more of my dad laughing, then Caeden said "Beach Frampy, play water, play sand, Frampy" and I heard my dad laughing again. Then my dad said with a smile and a laugh, "Yes, I'm anxious about it too!" Then it was time for us to say goodbye, Caeden had said all that he wanted to say and said "Bye-bye Frampy, I luh (love) Frampy." My dad smiled again and said, "Bye-bye."

That was such a beautiful moment for me just to hear my dad laugh. Wow, and knowing it was a 2 year old little boy who brought much joy to "Frampy."

Keep laughing Dad! I love you and we look forward to seeing you soon and hugging your neck in person...and laughing a lot!

Welcome to Me...and to you

Well, I finally did it! Woo! Hoo! (Sigh) I finally have my own blog site up and running! This has been something I have been wanting to do for a long time and I finally sat down to do it. It also helped that both my boys were napping at the same time, and my husband was on a motorcycle ride, so I had some time for myself.

So, here I am...what do I say...where do I begin...?

Let's start with why I wanted to create this blog site...I think the main reason was I wanted an outlet to express myself, to express all of me and who I am as well as creating an opportunity of discovering more of who I am while writing my thoughts out. I'm doing this first and foremost for me, to be a creative flow...and then I'm also doing it for my boys and for my future children...kind of leaving them a legacy of who and what mom is/was about. I'm really excited I'm here!

So, to all who ever read this site, welcome into my world, into my thoughts, and into my life. It is a great adventure I'm on and I look forward to seeing what shows up for me. Let's go!
