Life is.. simply that.

Life is overwhelming. It's ugly and gritty and mean. It's phone calls in the middle of the night that take your breath away. It's rainstorms and flooding. It's pain and anger. It's hate and sorrow. It's rage and destruction. It's pain, simple pain. It's nothing and everything all at the same time. Life is.... simply that.

But... life is also rainbows and mud puddles. It's pretty smelling flowers and children laughing. It's snow falling on Christmas day. It's the smell of fresh baked bread wafting through the house. It's the comfort of curling up with your loved one on a cold winter day. It's the feel of warm beach sand under your feet. It's the sound of birds in Spring. Life is a contradiction of everything and nothing all at the same time. Life is.. simply that.

You can't say well I wasn't in an accident and On Star would say, yes you have been our sensors show it. Or what if they're listening in on your conversation while you're talking? Think of some of thing...

Get out of your own head.....

I had all kinds of thoughts and plans for my future. Dreams of the life I'd lead and the places I'd travel. But dreams are simply mist, blown away by the winds of reality, and as a well-known movie of our  younger years taught us, 'Reality Bites'. Reality is a bitter bitch.

The First Hearing of the Heartbeat

HJ laying on the table with her digital recorder while we listen to the sound of the baby's heartbeat. AMAZING! That's all I can say. This was taken with my cell phone which I then couldn't get the video on to my computer. So I asked a friend how she got pictures moved around and she ended up emailing it to me so I could put it on here to share.
