Magnificent children snuggling![/caption]Maybe a week before holiday break, I walked with Lotta to Ben's school. It was a chilly cloudy day, the big snow had not yet fallen. Suddenly, as I came up over a bridge I just had the indescribably delicious feeling of everything being so magnificent. And I wondered where this feeling hid itself so much of the time. And I wondered whether or not I could seek this Magnificence on a daily basis. What would I need to give up to be this kind of seeker? What stands in my way? Self-doubt? Worry? Fear? Just like Ellie continually looking for those yellars (yellow cars) what would I discover if I searched for magnificence? So for 2013, I will be a Seeker of the Magnificent. And what better time than when I am miraculously pregnant for the 4th time. What is more magnificent than a new born baby, or even the growing of that baby inside?
EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! I am so happy for all of you :-) Much, much love, from Louisiana

And yes, I get that "everything is magnificent" feeling too, but it is oh, so seldom.....you stated it perfectly. When it happens, I wonder where it hides. I know mine hides under all of my fears, anxiety and that dreadful "all is not well" feeling that seems to pervade my life and destroy my peace. I too, am trying to do better with that.

Thanks, Lisa, for your enthusiastic support! I know YOU know how utterly amazing it is to be 42 and pregnant.
