Rubbed Elbow with Happiness

Sometimes, our thoughts turn back toward a corner in a forest, or the end of a bank, or an orchard powdered with flowers, seen but a single time on some gay day, yet remaining in our hearts and leaving in soul and body an unappeased desire which is not to be forgotten, a feeling we have just rubbed elbows with happiness.

On Saturday, my grandson Tyler turned one year old so we celebrated. Children make life interesting but they also show us how quickly time passes. Having Tyler in my life reminds me to take care of myself and helps me continue my path of keeping life simpler. He is a joy!

Introducing Tyler Tehyun Stephan

I would like to introduce Tyler Tehyun Stephan.  He was born at 8:15 pm last night.  He is 7 pounds, 9 ounces and 20 inches long.  Mom and baby are healthy and resting.  Unfortunately, Sang had to have an emergency c-section and will need time to recover. The earliest they will be coming home is Tuesday.  I am off to go meet him in person! Isn't he a beauty? I cannot wait to begin this new chapter of my life.
