On life's vast ocean diversely we sail, 

Reasons the card, but passion is the gale.

-Alexander Pope

It feels so good to be back at the helm. It's not perfect by any stretch, and neither am I. I still wonder just about every other second whether or not I'm completely messing up their lives. Nevertheless, I am the captain, and we've found a rhythm. Our jive, it isn't the same as anyone else's....and that's ok....it doesn't need to look any certain way. I don't have to prove anything to anyone. I'm navigating through these waters trusting my gut to be my guide, and charting the course based upon the personalities and needs of my individual children.  It's rarely smooth sailin'...but a smooth sea never made a skilled sailor, right?! :) Plus it's beautiful....life is beautiful.
