My cup runneth over!

My grandmother used to say that all the time and I remember one time specificaly -- I was a young girl and was sitting in her den with her; we were doing our nails which we often did during our visits. She said, "Oh me, my cup runneth over..." and I asked what she meant by that. She said, one day, you will know -- it is gratitude for the fullness of life.

Gaga, now I do know...my cup runneth over! I am so full of love for many beings right now and Lucy Linh being one! It is strange to feel emotion like this for someone I have never officially met or know much of anything about. My heart feels ready and open for loving her. I am peacefully waiting.

...and in the meantime, my family of two has simultaneously grown! Sean and I got engaged earlier this week. We have known we wanted to share a long life together for a while so we are very happy to be at this place. Thank goodness for his calm, fun and positive demeanor -- it will be much needed for navigating life with 3 six year olds and 1 baby -- all girls! Oh...Life is Good!
