Easter Reminded Me of the Miracles That Are My Children

Greetings from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania! Things have been busy. I am still a working mom of three, working full time who is trying to make a difference. I do a lot of things and try to be present so that I can learn from them. I share them on this blog so that we can learn together. Below are some thoughts, hacks, and/or lessons that I have learned from navigating my world. Below is a tale of my road to becoming the mother of three. It was a road filled with joys and disappointments. However, I wouldn't giving nothing for my journey now. Here's to embracing every step of the journey, even the painful ones, and embracing the lessons learned along the way.

Reflecting on the goodness of life...

There are times that I am keenly aware of the miracle I experienced last year--when I feel my heart flutter with excitement, when I was recently laying in the emergency room believing that I was suffering related symptoms only to learn that I had only pulled a muscle, and, when I hear about someone who did not have the same speedy recovery. I ran into a friend who told me a story that really touched me. His friend died at thirty three (33) years old after a bout with infection. Apparently he did not respond well to the medication that he received and went into cardiac arrest.

Even though I know that I experienced a miracle, sometimes I take my recovery for granted. Occasionally, I’ll complain about something insignificant. Sometimes, I’ll find myself longing for more money so that I could do something trivial like buy this sleeveless black Prada dress that has been in the past two Neiman Marcus catalogs. And more than once since my event, I have failed to express love in real time because I believe that I can always do it later.

I know that my comfort with life and tendency to take some things for granted is essential for coping. Indeed, when I was a ball of anxiety and tears, I was not very productive or very pleasant to be around. Still, there are times when I need to pause. There are times that I need to remember. There are times when I need to simply thank God that he spared life and allowed me to continue to experience this life so that I can learn, love, and just occasionally take the goodness of a day for granted.
