I just finished a frog hunt with Gabriel in the light of the full moon. We were in our underwear lol. Well, I have a tshirt on over mine, so I guess he was in his underwear--I was just 1/2 way there. It is one of the perks of living out in the middle of nowhere I guess.
It was a really nice moment. Nice moments with Gabe are always good, because there can also be lots of stressful moments. But I feel like that is every kid to some extreme. I love him and all of his range of emotions. He is teaching me a lot about myself.
Full moons are ends of cycles in the night sky. Every moon cycle we get a new moon, and we get phases that lead up to a full moon. The full moon is a nice reminder that we can let go of the old to make way for the new. I have been journaling a lot lately about things I need to let go of. It has helped more than I could ever imagine.
These last few weeks I have really let go of the need to control everything for my kids. I am still struggling with this, and I never have been a super controlling mom so it is hard to explain. Like to be honest, my kids have a lot of freedom that most kids would die for. But I still felt this need to be their everything I guess is what I am trying to say.
It has been really nice that people have stepped in and helped, inviting them over and bringing them to things like VBS. Sometimes those little moments away from each other can remind us how important all the moments we have together really are.
Next week we are going to go visit my oldest friend in Arkansas as part of our couch surfing summer. I just totally came up with this today, lol. We need to get away I think. The bus is hot, and there is a whole world waiting for us to explore. Plus I have tons of friends in lots of places. Why not go visit?
We will be eating a lot of Ramen noodles lol, but it will be worth it. Just going to have to figure out some gas money, but I always find my way ;)
Anyways, lots to be thankful for on this beautiful full moon night. Sending you lots of love. I think it is time to get some rest.
Don't forget to change the world. Do it for Elijah.
Thank you!
Oh sweet boy.
I saw a little frog tonight and it made me think of the little onsies
you had with little green frogs on them.
I smiled because it reminded me of you.
I love and miss you so much.
Always.
