Is This Really My Life?

You know those times when you're just in the moment, maybe by yourself, maybe not. And you suddenly realize, This Is My Life.

And that's a good thing?

I've been having those moments a lot lately.

Earlier this week, I was just looking at M as she was playing by herself and I thought, "Woah. I'm a Mom. I'm a Mom to this sweet girl in front of me. And I love it." Then I thought to myself, "This Is My Life!"

Then a few days ago, I was admiring The Husband's facial features as he was watching tv. I noticed his wedding ring and thought, "He's mine. After being in love with him for 11 years, we finally got married. I can't believe it! This Is My Life!"

Then last night? My heart exploded. M and I had a fun day of outdoor play and pool time. We both needed a bath/shower and so after cooking dinner for an hour and half and inhaling the deliciousness (I'll blog it, you don't want to miss it!), I told The Husband that I was going to bathe M. He said he'd do it, go enjoy a shower.

You don't have to tell me twice!

As I was about to get in the shower, I heard talking from both M and her Daddy, then singing, then giggling. Repeat repeat repeat.

I thanked G-d that I had those two blessings as people in my life and thought, "Am I really this lucky? This Is My Life."

And the answer is yes. I really am this lucky.

I have so many more little instances of me realizing, over and over again, that this is indeed, my life. And I am forever grateful that it is.
