THE ESSENCE OF MY EXISTENCE

April 19, 2008 Saturday 7:38am

Nothing could be more profound than “what is the essence of my existence.”
Fifteen or so years ago, I, totally would not be able to qualify nor quantify the significance of my being. I was the “I think therefore I am” type of person as my sister would have described me; I was the pack and go person. I was your proverbial anything goes kind of sister, daughter and friend.
The question is way out of my league.
But presently after having acquired the designations of mother and wife, suffice it is to say that I know the answer to that.
Watching my husband and my son on the bed, sleeping side by side at early dawn is the mightiest answer to that profound question
In front of me lay the two most precious gifts life has given me.
This is the I-must- have- done- something -really –good- in- my- life part. And yes I must have made a lot of good for I have them. My husband and my son.
I have a husband and son who are both intelligent and handsome.
I have a beautiful life. God has been good and generous to me …all the time
I use to have a drab life and then this.
Now that I have experienced what real joy is, I could not ask for anything less
I cease to exist without my husband and son. They are the essentials to my being.
Life’s depth has been measured and it has gauged me as a person. I truly believe that life’s rewards are overwhelming.
A life time would not be enough to enjoy the gifts I have today.
