Perfect Moments Monday/Weekend Update

Overall, it was a great weekend in San Luis Obispo with my husband’s extended family. The Bride and Groom who celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary are delightful people and the party was wonderful. To see the love of this family is to see love and caring “in action”. It is a really great branch of the family tree.

This weekend there were neutral moments such as no drama with the SILs which I attribute to everyone being on their best behavior and therapeutic drug levels. Imperfect moments, when my DH and I had “words”, (lots of words, actually), which is unusual for us, but we got through it. And yes, quite a few perfect moments –

- Feeling my heart fill with love during the renewal of our cousins’ wedding vows.
- Becoming overcome with emotion along with the Bride when her Groom presented her with a hope chest he made and filled with letters from all of their children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
- Watching my son stand up on a surfboard for the first time.
- Seeing our puppy play in the ocean for the first time.
- Cherishing the sight of our older niece walking in the middle of our two boys with their arms thrown across each others shoulders.
- Looking at the reflection of the bright moon on the ocean.
- Feeling forgiveness from my DH and for my DH.
- Arriving home safe and sound to our quiet house and sweet cat.

Thank you for sharing in my perfect and not so perfect moments. I hope the scales of perfect moments tips in your favor today and everyday.
