Something Perfect for Someone so Imperfect

On Saturday, April 18th at 11:49 pm, I (we) were blessed to have born the newest member of the Henrichsen family. Boston Forbes Henrichsen joined us and I could not be more grateful for him.

As I have thought about him the last few days, I have been counting my blessings. We waited a long time for him to join us and I am thankful to have been entrusted to care for and provide for him for a time here on this earth.

One thought I have had several times over the last 5 days is just how perfect he seems. He is beautiful. His head, his hands, his little legs, his lips, etc. He just seems so perfect to me (I may be a little biased). I wonder why, would I be so lucky to have something so perfect sent to me, when I am so imperfect. I make so many mistakes and have so many faults and can not seem to grasp why I would be given something that is so good and pure.

Carpe Diem

Today the word that I learned while at work was carpe diem.

I had heard this word before but never really knew what it meant until it was explained to me.

Yes, my small brain again. Most of you that read this will wonder why I did not know this word an its meaning.

I am just thankful that I learned something new today.

Carpe Diem 

Latin. seize the day; enjoy the present, as opposed to placing all hope in the future.

Gesticulate

I learned something new today. A Word - Gesticulate or Gesticulating

Today at work, I was talking to someone and was using my hands during the conversation. As I was talking I was told that what I was doing is called gesticulating. I have a very small and simple brain and had never heard this word before. I looked it up and have added the definition below for those that care. I am happy to say that my day at work was not a total waste, I learned something new.
