Yesterday was Jason’s birthday. I can’t believe he is 44 years old now. Where does the time go? Jason has taught me more about life than anyone else I have ever known. I am so proud of the man he has become. He has had lots of obstacles and hurdles to jump during his life and managed to over come each one.
We spent a quiet day yesterday. The boys were tired from there very late flight Monday. Jim didn’t get back from picking them up from the airport until after 3:00 am. We all slept in late Monday morning and took a lazy day. Both boys had work they needed to do and spent lots of time on their computers catching up and making phone calls.
It was a rainy, cloudy day that was a perfect day to spend doing nothing. I did make another dish rag and finished two more tea towels.
We took the boys out to dinner last night and then went grocery shopping. I went to bed early but the guys stayed up until midnight or so.
Today is a beautiful day. The skies are bright blue and we have lots of sunshine. Sometime this early afternoon we are all going to drive up Trail Ridge Road and take a hike. It is a beautiful day for that. This evening I need to do some laundry after dinner. The Y Camp has a laundromat on grounds so will use that and not fight the traffic downtown Estes Park.
I am finally slowing down a bit and allowing myself to relax. The mountains are so amazing and healing. I feel a deep peace in myself that has been missing for a bit. Still not sure I could live here full time but what an escape they are to come to.
Grateful for this healing, quiet time in the mountains, grateful to be able to allow myself to slow down, and grateful for the joy Jason has brought to my life and the privilege of being his mother.
