I believe I will have another coffee.

Perhaps another glass of wine.

I believe I will listen to a little more music. And sing my kiddos one more bedtime song, while they still let me.

I believe I will savor this moment in motherhood.

And soak in the moments I feel the presence of those we’ve lost.

I believe I will learn so much more down the road. And pray that cooking is one of those things.

I believe I will stick with my day planner. Even though I’ve tried to organize my life digitally three times.

I believe I’ll be okay letting some things go.

And be okay sometimes…. holding on.

I believe I’d like another walk in the woods. And on the beach. And around the lake.

And need another girl’s night out just like the guys should head out too.

I believe I’ll forever value my village.

And sometimes find asking for help tough to swallow.

I believe I’ll make another mistake or two or three or four or forty and I’ll fall, cry, laugh, grow, change and celebrate… all while enjoying another cup of coffee, I believe.
