It looks like it's going to be a bright, bright sunshiney day. I'll never forget the feeling of being woken up by the words of that song in Jamaica. David and I were on our honeymoon and one morning, those words came riding along the perfect ocean breeze that floated through our balcony doors. We stepped out onto the balcony and the picture at the top of this blog homepage is what we saw. That day ended up being one of my top ten brightest.
As I write now, I can tell you that the outlook is still sunny. Although the sun hasn’t yet risen outside my window here in hospital room 3040… no Jamaican guys with captivating voices outside….no ocean breeze (or fresh air for that matter!) drifting in….no warm sand or gentle waves just a few feet away; The events of the past 12 days have helped me to focus on the sunshine that comes from within as well as the sunshine that other people bring. This sunshine can be more powerful than the 10,000 degree sun.
(The smaller picture above shows one of our frequent views here in room 3040: We catch ourselves staring at the computer screen that shows the results of the monitors that keep track of my contractions as well as the baby's heart rate. In the other pic, I'm rubbing on belly butter while David gives me a foot rub....can't complain!)
