Life is still a mystery, but I realize beautiful things about life everyday and new things about myself at the same time.
As I am playing nanny for my (12 week old) niece for a short period of time, I look at her and can't imagine missing out on these special moments. Only knowing her for a month I have seen her develop so much, holding her head up, engaging in eye contact, trying to communicate with coos and screams of excitement, vibrant smiles, and her interest in music. She is a miracle of life and who she becomes will be due to the miracle of love, and that, she is spoiled rotten with!
Many days I have no idea what to do with free time, since in my past life I never left time for that.... Then I remember that's partially what i was looking for. My newest hobby is cooking and baking. I always enjoyed it moderately but never really stepped outside of the box. Now I find myself searching the Internet and magazines for highly rated recipes. When I'm finished I always get the two best rewards, the accomplishment of successfully trying something new, and sharing it with others. Once and a while... there is a bonus of lots of laughs about how I totally screwed something up. Last but not least, don't let me down play my love for the dishwasher that I have never had.
I'm still living and loving learning. Over the next couple of months my life and experiences will change drastically and I can hardly wait to tell you all about them!
