KAMA... We take the 7th Graders. It's a special thing in May and it's not mandatory..just fun. Lots of parents come up as chaperones. It's about a 3 hour drive but it's a beautiful one. Of course the kids all bring their Game Boys so they don't see past Super Mario..lol. I'm glad you had a good NM experience! |

Sitting on a mountain top with the morning fog hanging low in the valleys as the sun comes up. Everything seems to be going on beneath you until the sun rises over the mountain tops and the fog melts away. Then a lone eagle comes soaring through the high woods and his screeches echo through the valleys. A cool breeze blows and caresses your hair and puts a glow in your cheeks. You stare up into the crystal blue heavens and realize God is watching your reaction to the beauty of His world. The hairs on your arm stand up and you feel the peace of being in the presence of The Creator. Then you go WOW!  |

When I think of my mother-in-law, who after doing a great job of raising 10 kids, now takes care of her husband, who had a stroke 5+ years ago, and is now in a wheelchair, can't walk or talk, and is pretty much paralyzed on his right side. She has kept him in their home all this time. One son still lives at home, and undoubtedly this small woman could not have done it without him, but the dedication and pure love that motivates her makes me say, "WOW." And I know that my DH would do the same for me if I'm ever in that position, and I credit my mother-in-law for that, too.

I have to say my son when he is asleep he is so cute. Even though he is 12 also when he comes up and gives me a big hug and kiss just cause I am his mom. The area I live in, in New Mexico is wow, I live in the mountains. I just love coming home to it when I have been on a trip. God sure has done a awsome job on his creations. Wow also that we have been married 13 years and we still love each other more everyday. I could go on and on. As most of my life at this moment and time is a Wow. Thank the Lord. |

Yes, I would have to say looking and thinking about my son. Actually, I had something happen this week that made me say wow today... The past two weeks have been beyond busy. We are getting ready to sell our house and needed to get drywall work done in EVERY room, and now are starting to paint. Our furniture has been moved to the middle of every room (My husband knows better to unplug the computer, I would kill!!), and we have had drywall dust and paint spatters EVERYWHERE! I am President of my local moms group and are very busy right now too. On top of it all my in-laws just arrived yesterday for a five day visit and my son turned 4 today with a big pirate birthday party. I am exhausted. The other night at 12:30 am I had to run to Walmart to get some birthday presents and other things we needed for the house. I was so tired so decided to stop at Starbucks to "refuel" and the place with packed with teenagers and college students. I was so envious because I just wanted to be young and free with no responsibilities or obligations. (I have had a hard time turning 35 this year!) I was very upset about how old I feel and miss singing(I used to sing in a band), traveling, all the things you can do with no kids or husbands. A tiny little part of me wished I was young and single with no husband or child(I know, very selfish of me, but I am being honest here). I know it was just because I was so exhausted from working and painting and cleaning all day. Today I had to go pick up some balloons for my sons party. I was in awe this morning that I even have a 4 yr old and he is growing so fast, too fast. Anyway, I was in the car alone and heard that song by Celene Dion "A New Day", which she wrote for her baby son. "I cannot believe I was touched by an angel with love...." I started to cry, because even though I had a selfish moment the other night, this was what life, my life, was all about now. My son, and giving him all the love and guidance that I can. Being able to do things for him, such as the pirate birthday party, and little things like watching him sleep or watching him learn how to read etc. That was my Wow. Growing old doesn't seem so bad most of the time because I have a beautiful son and husband and friends to share it with. Wow!

Telos..wow..I hope one day I do experience the view from a mountain. Dangergirl..oh hon'..thank you..I feel I am being selfish also when have those what if or remember when thoughts, I usually feel guilty for allowing myself to go there again. Like you, it's not a thought that lasts either. It's awesome when you walk in the door and instead of hearing "Maaawwwwm, what took you so long? I need...." One of your children runs up with a hug and says he missed you. That is too cool. Then of course there are many times when I feel honored that my kids turn to me for so much, that they have put so much trust into me. |

DG..you are SO not alone. I have moments like yours in Starbucks every now and then too, but that one little kiss or "I love you" from the people you live for changes your whole perspective doesn't it. I guess that's another "WOW" moment...when someone unexpectedly says "I love you!" (and they're not a stalker of course.ahem.)
