Here I go...

My first attempt at the true world of blogging. I thank my good friend, Sachi. I am very excited and nervous at the same time. Almost like when I found out I was pregnant. I said almost. Same general feelings just A LOT more muted. I think this can act as a wonderful tool to document my life as it is in the moment in a way that I am not able to otherwise. And...I can share my thoughts and feelings with my friends and family near and far. Maybe they will get to know me and I can get to know them in a more intimate way from a distance. Kind of makes sense, but not really. Funny how technology brings us together yet keeps us physically apart. It works as a nice boundary...a protective shield. Yet, we are able to divulge more of our subconscious selves out this way. Hmmmm.


This is Ayden on his 2nd birthday. We spent the day celebrating with him at Sesame Place. It was an amazing time. I not only was able to share in the fun of going on water slides and other amusement rides, I also saw Ayden just being himself...happy and simply enjoying life to it's fullest. It was a beautiful thing. I realize how I once could sit for hours playing with just one inanimate object as I found different ways to play, be, and imagine with it. It truly is amazing how simple things we use or see in our daily lives can bring such joy and pleasure. I need to remember to do this every day!
