Here are five reasons I’m doing a happy dance today:
1.
My computer was returned to me yesterday good as new! I’m going to spend the weekend editing photos and writing, as well as Pinning {have you seen the button on my side bar? You can follow me on Pinterest!}
2.
Exam week is over for my two Middle Schoolers! They’ve worked really hard this week. So have I. It’s no fun studying with teenagers and realizing how much I don’t remember. We’re going out to dinner to celebrate which means NO COOKING DINNER FOR ME!
3.
I’m going to spend this afternoon crafting with my friend and eating delicious lunch. Friends and food = happy me.
4.
I ran at the gym last night without hating it. American Idol may have played some part in it, but seriously, that is a breakthrough for me.
5.
Hannie B. is learning to play Clair de Lune {by Debussy} on the piano. This is the song that was playing when I saw pictures of my sister for the first time. I cry every time I hear it. And now my daughter is going to know how to play it. Sigh.

You are having a fantastic day!
I know that Clair de Lune is a Debussy standard, well known and loved by all. Still, I can't help but feel a little possessive about it. It sums up a whole lot of emotion, transition, and revelation for me. Like a musical prayer, tentatively whispered and answered with an overwhelming swell.
Yeah, I feel a bit of ownership for that song too. Silly, but it is the backdrop song to one of the most important days of my life.
Well, gals, I didn't write it, didn't perform it, and don't possess it.
However, when it came time to put together the DVD for the Big Reveal, i am the guy who selected Clair de Lune as the accompanying music. And yes, Apis, I felt that it represented a musical prayer of thanks — for the miracle and joy of your success in finding us and vice versa.
Beautifully put Sam, Apis and Kernal. What a sweet gift it has been to watch from a distance your family joy in welcoming Apis into your lives. So many, many things to be happy about, so dance on Sammy!
yeah! Love that the computer is back. I noticed your pins today... wonderful!
