Each day I pray for a good day. Each day I pray for connections and understanding for Owen and me. And today I feel like so many bridges were crossed. I once again slept better than I had in a very long time. I woke up once at midnight and thankfully my bathroom trip did not wake him up. I woke again after five and he made it to almost seven. Prayers were already answered.

Tired is the name of the game for me but tired is a daily occurrence so truly I’m used to that part. My lips feel a little dry still but I am drinking a lot of water and it is helping this. They are all minimal distractions for my body but the important part is my soul feels refreshed. I am truly feeling blessed in these moments and thankful for the continued prayers I am receiving. They are working.

I can’t imagine if this happened when he was younger. He couldn’t even handle all the phone calls back then, not to mention my hair and so much more. If I would receive a phone call years ago it would lead to hours of meltdowns and him screaming the entire time I was on the phone. So I’m thanking God that it is now and not then. Believe me, it is something to be so grateful for. He has been so calm for me the last few days and the connections are growing.

Church was exactly what I needed today. Owen enjoyed his time and I sat behind the cameras helping to record the service. Being at church is my comfort in the storms around me. Find peace and tranquility where you can. Life is hectic and finding calm will make peace with your soul. I always try to control a scenario instead of letting the day just happen and adapt when needed. I am learning to breathe all over again.

A lady gave Owen gum as we walked out the door. He was as happy as a lark and thoroughly enjoyed his gum. He must have asked ten people on the way out so I’m thankful she gave him some. I have gum for him but he still wants to talk to everyone about theirs. He is growing up so fast.

“Cook it in the oven then you take it out it hot,” Owen said without taking a breath between any of the words. He was jumping up and down near the oven watching his requested fish cook. I am so thankful he doesn’t attempt to touch anything when it is hot. We worked on that skill over and over again, stressing the importance of being careful. The timer chimed and he said, “It’s ready time to eat.” Oh, how I love the joy my son radiates for so many things. I love how his life produces these beautiful moments of sunshine.

Dinner ran into bedtime and bedtime ran into talking about everything we are doing this week. The calm washed over him again today and that I was thankful for. And I was calmer for this. Let today be your new beginning. Let tomorrow be your joy. And let your future be good for your soul. Today is your day to begin. Smiles to all and donut daze!

    I'm Lynn Browder. Owen's Mommy. The best moments in time are when I get to see the smile on his face and that giggle come from his heart.
