It's been a year ago that I arrived home from the hospital with a precious bundle of joy by the name of Christian Everett. Feeling tired from lack of sleep and the pain from going through childbirth, I forged into my empty kitchen to "get away from it all"! Punching the buttons on the trusty old coffee pot I began to brew my favorite cup of Starbuck's coffee, hoping to awaken my senses. Life had definate taken a change for me in the past nine months. As I peered out of the kitchen window, I began to think about the changes that were taking place in my life. So many changes happening so fast. Unavoidable changes coloring my life in so many different ways. Immediately, my eyes were drawn to the leaf covered ground in my back yard. Where there was just green grass growing (plus a few weeds) a few days before, I noticed a variety of leaves that had fallen to make a wonderful collage all around. Like the leaves on the ground my life had unexpectedly taken on a wonderful transformation. Most people would pass by and not take the time to notice a few leaves that had fallen on the ground. As such, most would not notice the changes that occur as we live our lives day by day. The colorful experiences that enter our lives changes each aspect of the way we live. I am thankful for the little leaves that color my life. As they circle and blow around me, I will be reminded and will think about how special and unique they are to me.
