Jazz

I have been listening to jazz tonight. I love the old classics: Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong. They always hold a very special place in my heart. I have been listening to this music while I have been attempting to allow myself to dream about the future. Not the easiest thing in my world of deep rooted realities and responsibilities, but I am trying just the same.

The music lifts me up and takes me to a place that I wouldn't have been able to get to otherwise. I can dream. I can lift my head and focus on the stars for just a little while. Romantic, isn't it?

Michael took the kids and I to the park earlier tonight and I just thought I would share a picture of all of my adorable darlings.
