Waiting for the Easter Egg Hunt to begin.
I am pretty sure I can feel the sugar haunting me from inside the colorful Easter baskets that are sitting on the kitchen table. R and I don't keep candy in the house, with the exception of dark chocolate once and a while. I don't deny having a sweet tooth. I just try to limit the amount of candy I eat. It's a good sacrifice. The more salads and fresh fruit I eat the less candy I crave. It's a win-win.
I can't believe the weekend is already behind us. I really looked forward to Easter weekend and all though I spent the week undecided about where to go and how to spend our holiday I am rather satisfied with how the weekend unfolded. I always have a difficult time trying to finalize plans. I don't want to miss out on anything and other people's (sisters in particular) plans always sound like so much fun. This time I feel that I really did make the right decision. I just missed out on seeing my parents. We decided this time traveling was going to be too much. I know there are more holidays to come and they feel the same way.
But, that's how it is to be grown up and have a family of your own. Decisions are harder, when it rains it really rains and just when it seems like the clouds are clearing and you want to dance in the sunshine...baby gets sick, car breaks down, another bill rolls in. Except, the rewards are greater too. The sense of accomplishment is so much more when you work harder to reach a goal.. Being happy is being happier than you were before and love is stronger than any love you ever felt before.
That is the best way I can explain. Finally, finding satisfaction in my choices, realizing this is all part of growing up has made me feel more confident in the family and life I have built with R.
This year Easter sure surprised me. I can't wait for next year's Easter holiday. I hope everyone enjoyed their Easter too.
Keep Loving.
