Ripples in the sand.......

As is the case with anyone there are things in my life that bring disappointment, hurt and laughter and joy. The betrayal of a friend or family member maybe that causes an ache of disappointment and hurt. The milestones and steps that each child takes toward being greater adults bring great joy to my life. The birth of a nephew. unmet expectation. Something you thought was unconditional is not but all these things will pass like ripples in the sand, they will not last forever.
Here I am awaiting the arrival of our third child wondering how I will manage with three. Now, i know that many of you out there who have raise three would like to assure me that three is no different than two. That everything will be fine! It seems so strange to me the things in life that can seem overwhelming are so easy for those who have already walked through it. perhaps because of my current condition my isolation doesn't help my overwhelming sense that the tides coming in, so I better move or get swept out to sea.
