Growing Younger: Heart smiles.

Wednesday, November 5, 2014

Heart smiles.

It is slowly becoming more and more real.

We've promoted him from 'jelly bean baby' to 'George'. That is not his name for realsies though. :)

According to the doctor, George has the cutest heartbeat he heard all day. I'm sure he says that to every momma, but that didn't stop it from making me smile.

George cracks me up daily. I just feel so much personality. He likes to kick when he feels smushed. It is like a 'hey, I'm here. just so you know. please and thank you.'

I love the way that George is part of our life. McCallin will come home and kiss me and ask how I'm doing. Then he always asks how George is. It makes my heart grow a little more love for that man.

My heart smiles when McCallin feels George kick. The excitement on McCallin's face is so beautiful and worthwhile. We are on this adventure together and it feels right and good and wonderful and happy.

In reality, my heart is perpetually smiling.

It is a beautiful life.

"Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony." --Gandhi

"If we only wanted to be happy, it would be easy; but we want to be happier than other people, and that is almost always difficult, since we think them happier than they are." ~Charles de Montesquieu

"There are some days when I think I'm going to die from an overdose of satisfaction." ~Salvador Dali

"Be one who nurtures and who builds. Be one who has an understanding and a forgiving heart, who looks for the best in people. Leave people better than you found them." ~Marvin J Ashton

"For love, for the sake of love, will always be enough. And if our lives are but a single flash in the dark hollow of eternity, then, if, but for the briefest of moments, we shine--then how brilliantly our light has burned. And as the starlight knows no boundary of space or time, so, too, our illumination will shine forth throughout all eternity, for darkness has no power to quell such light. And this is a lesson we must all learn and take to heart--That all light is eternal and all is love is light." ~Richard Paul Evans

“The commandment given by the Savior was to love others and yourself. Am I secure enough in my love of myself to laugh at myself, to admit mistakes, to graciously accept a compliment? Am I secure in my love of others to smile and say hello to a perfect stranger?” ~James E. Faust

"I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought and that gratitude is happiness doubled with wonder." ~G.K. Chesterton

"Indeed, the more we find to love, the more we add to the measure of our hearts." ~Lloyd Alexander

"Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable." ~ C.S. Lewis

"Everything I understand, I understand only because I love." ~Tolstoy
