Rainbow Love!

I so want to have my mom show me how to make some of these -- wouldn't that be so perfect across the couches in my house -- I am totally moving toward bright colors as I begin dreaming up what's next for the rooms in my house. As I near 40 -- only 3 years away -- I have decided to jump into vivid, deep colors -- the kind of clothes and surroundings and way of living that is so much more what is in me -- I have this completely rich, deep joy of a life now. I LOVE my husband, my children, our house, our neighborhood and city. I love the anticipation of all that is right now and all that is to come. And I want to fling away all the fear of any of being taken away or of all that I have not chosen to do or all that I am not as a person. I just feel so so much joy right now (even on the hard days of mothering little children or feeling regret for not having lived more fully before now). I am so thankful. So thankful -- it is growing and waving over me. And it isn't even the change of seasons or being 7 months into not being pregnant (and feeling so much better physically and emotionally) -- though these certainly help. I am just feeling hopeful and glad and wildly creative. Use me, God! Let this life, this home, this family just ooze with gladness all over everyone inside it and everyone who stands near us (-:!!!!!!! (P.S. I have got to do this rainbow project with my kids!!!!!)
