I often find myself focusing on the negative moments I’ve had with my kids. Being a mother of two children, one of whom has special needs, can be hard and exhausting. But it is the greatest thing I've ever done. So I have given myself a challenge. For a year I will end every day describing one thing I found truly beautiful. On many days this will be easy. On the challenging days I will have to dig deep. I hope to discover the challenge is picking only one beautiful thing each day.

Long Overdue
Today was my day to go to the dump. Exciting, I know. I don't look forward to dump runs, primarily because I carry all the bags in the back of my car. That would be my nice, new car. At least, it used to be nice and new. As I pulled into the dump, a truck in front of me pulled up to a dumpster, and the driver got out. Then I was in for a happy surprise. The driver of the truck was a good friend of mine, who I haven't seen in months. We greeted each other with big smiles and hugs, and caught up with each other's lives, while we stood in the middle of the dump. I had to laugh at the absurdity of our meeting place, given the fact that we have been trying to get together for so long. Dump or not, it was a beautiful visit, and one that was long overdue.
