Today title- Mommyish Everyday Extras (freebie/retired)



journaling: book antiqua regular
13 years sure flew by. I am no longer the full time mom of an 8 year old, rather am preparing for his full launch after college graduation in May. We still love to travel and it is by far my favorite thing to do with my family. Now I am adjusting to being at home with Gavin full time since he had to retire with his cancer. I am having to adapt my daily life to make sure he is cared for and that we both feel engaged. I am dealing with the unknown of his diagnosis the best I can but I still struggle for control and the ability to plan. I hope the future holds lots of travel for us and many years of memories to come. I am preparing myself as much as possible for the possibility of living alone for the first time in my life Some days the idea is more palatable than others. I am trying to live in the now rather than the what will life be like in x years. This is a struggle for me as I have come to realize that I have never been good at the now, I’ve always been about executing a plan and seeing its outcome. I am working on this to save myself from too much sad thinking and trying to see the positive instead.
It can take work to focus on the positive, and I'm sorry for the cancer diagnosis. Prayers that the outcome will be positive. I do love your oranges and greens and the optimistic feel of the page despite your inner struggles. Hugs to you.
 
What heartfelt and authentic journaling you have shared. May you find wonderful time with your husband and son in the months, and years, to come.
