Good Days

Today  was a great day.  

I went to the outlet malls with two friends and was very apprehensive.  We rented a car and I was to be in charge of driving, something I have not EVER done in the city.  I was really nervous, but I did it and it was so liberating.

Shopping was another cause of anxiety, as I have not gotten through a shopping trip without some tears in months.  But I went and I bought and had a good time.  Clothes might have been a few sizes bigger, but I looked good and felt good about myself.  Babies were all around, and I was able to look through them.

I just got home and Josh is barbequing.  The sun is shining, and I am thinking about Julia and lighting our Sunday candle, and I feel hopeful.  Summer is coming, and I am looking forward to days in the park, spending time with my brother (who is moving to the city!), and having more days like today.
