How true and so appropriate. I plan to play that in my mind over and over if you don't mind. :) <br /><br />BTW - How has it been a year since your little one arrived. If you would have made me guess I would have said 6 months ago.

I really like the Buddhist philosophy about life events being tsunamis that eventually turn into small ripples. There are certain times of the year that do seem to prompt reflection and stir memories of the tidal waves.

I've had two miscarriages, egg retrievals and embryo transfers, BFNs and BFPs, and the birth of my twins all within that time frame. Throw in Christmas and Thanksgiving and what I have is a big emotional mess :) Sometimes I wish my husband and I could just pack up for that time and have a vacation in Bali or something, and someday when all the kids are grown and have their own families and their own lives we will...and all this pain, and drama will just be ripples on the greater sea of our happiness.Chickenpighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09442755180328605920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544913458028415917.post-43246549225321130962012-02-11T07:39:25.358-05:002012-02-11T07:39:25.358-05:00Happy birthday baby!

My cake writing always has a "Don't screw this up!" quality to it.<br /><br />In my family it is August that I would like to cancel, except we would have to reschedule a couple of birthdays. Friends of mine just got news that might put February on their naughty list, but then just up the street from them is a couple waiting for a first baby to put February in the "best of" category. Life is all jumbled up like that. We can't have joy without sorrow.Jennifer Thorsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04999871200590569742noreply@blogger.com
