Mom is BACK!

After a month of craziness at work and a slump in my health, I am feeling pretty good again! For a while I felt like I was climbing back up a muddy cliff. Actually, I have felt that way for a few years - perhaps more than I care to remember.

This week I started drinking Mona Vie. I honestly think it is a magic elixir. Okay - maybe I don't really believe in magic elixirs, but this is the closest thing to it that I've ever had. In just 6 days, I feel soooooo much more energetic and more like my old self - the old self that never stopped moving, going, working, playing! While I am not there yet, perhaps I will be soon. Fingers crossed.

Also - I suppose it helps that I finally bit the bullet and got a housekeeping service! After years of struggling with the housework and spending my weekends in cleaning madness, I was absolutely DELIGHTED to come home to a clean, sparkling, dusted house on Tuesday. It didn't even matter that they broke my one-of-a-kind hand painted leopard spotted milk pitcher---a small price to pay for clean toliets.

Today the weather was great - and I was counting myself blessed. I loved seeing the maple leaves swirl in the wind and the sun was brilliant and Toronto was a clear, jubilant 13 degrees C. The squirrels were dancing by the fence and the geese were utterly confused. It felt like Indian summer. Even when the kids yelled 'Mom' with 6 syllables and a high pitched whine - I didn't mind. Well, maybe just a little. Mom at rest. It's a good thing.
