Abundance
I woke up this morning after dreaming about Stephanie Nielson and her sister Courtney. (It must have been the NBC clip I watched yesterday of the interview). It was the day before the crash and we all knew the fate of the next day except for Stephanie. She was still very happy, dancing and enjoying her children and family and friends who were there visiting with her. I asked Courtney, "Should we tell her?" And she said, "No." I don't know why exactly, only that the feeling in the room was that either way, whether she knew or didn't know, she would go through with it anyways.I woke up especially in love with my kids and thankful for the new day. As I got ready to go run some errands, I was grateful that even though I don't even put on make-up anymore that I can be a beautiful person, even if others can't see past the plain maternity t-shirted lady with two small kids at her coattails.
It's a good feeling to know who you are and to know that what you're doing is valuable to at least some of the world's inhabitants. I loved reading this this morning too. She has written so well what I felt today too.

What a beautiful dream Sarah. And also a beautiful perspective. I love ya!
Sarah for some reason I'm able to read blogs this week and comment. China's being good to us. Who knows how long it will last. That picture of Lucy right next to you--she's a spitten image. Can't believe you're soon to be mom of 3. You're my hero. We just moved into a new apartment and for the first time I can decorate. I need you hear to help me catch the vision! Remember when you came to my room in Payson and started laughing at my Norman Rockwell's scattered on the wall? I haven't improved. I went through your old house at Stephanie's when I was home. Sorry I missed you, I think it was only by a couple days. Miss you and hope all goes well with the new baby and everything.

I loved this, Sarah. Somehow I think most of us would choose to do the same difficult trials over if we knew what we'd learn by the time "it" is all through. I'm sure, in the very end, Stephanie will feel the same.
I'm going to let C know about this post.
