It is such a wonderful feeling to feel the excitement of looking forward to something. Planning it, preparing for it, thinking about what you want to take, what stops you might make.
When I was young I used to go to Mexico with my Dad and Mom. Those trips were the best. I remember my mom would pack up these great snacks for the road. We always, always had that Gallo Salomi and cheddar cheese, and Ritz crackers. Soda's, chips, that was half the fun was eating. No I actually never had a weight problem until 40ish.
Anyway, the feel good of the memory comes to mind now that I am getting ready to take a trip to see my Son Jazz. The anticipation. I will be spending the New Year with the two most important people God has gifted me with, my Boy & Future Daughter in law Damariz. (wishful thinking) I am leaving Wednesday in the afternoon, taking the doggies, cause baby girl wants to see Cha-Cha. The blessings of 2008, my beautiful son Jazz, meeting his beautiful girlfriend. She is so much more then a pretty face. She is so beautiful in her heart, and yet somehow misunderstood in this present day of everyman for themselves. She and my boy aren't like that. There is this beautiful purity to their love for one another and how they bring the best out in each other and the kindness they have towards me and each other. I feel privileged to have given birth to this wonderful gift from God, and blessed that God saw fit to guide him and Jazz was open to that guidance. He is a beautiful human being, a nice gentle man, smart, determined and passionate about what he does. He carries himself with grace, and social refinement I could only hope to achieve someday. Then again, I am pretty OK with who and what I am. He makes me laugh, he is my best friend and my one and only son. As I said to him when he was born & still say to him now " it's you and me baby till the grass turns to clover" and it has, in abundance. Now it's his turn to shine, which he does so well, and time for me to cut the cord, and all I can say is I am working on it.
I could go on forever about him. Anyway, I am hitting the road Wednesday December 31, 2008 and will come home Next Year. Oh I love that. It's like a time machine.
Have a fabulous New Year and may all that is meant to be in your life find you in a place to embrace it all. With Love and Sincere hopes for a peaceful New Year. God Bless you and your family.
