Spring Wishcasting & I Love It

For todays Wishcasting Wednesday, Jamie asks us:
"WHAT DO YOU WISH WOULD SPRING INTO YOUR LIFE?"

Right now, I feel like I am living a "double life". 

One life is shining bright with the blissfulness of being newly wed to my very best friend/soul mate/knight-in-shining armor. We love our quiet, sweetly blessed life together. We so apprieciate intimate hours spent cuddling with our doggies, reading, sipping wine & lattes, cooking, running errands & laughing together, watching movies, walking the beach, lounging on the deck soaking up sunshine, napping through rainy afternoons...I could go on and on at the simple joys which are abundantly present in our life. In this life, I wish for very little. I feel I have it all, and then some.

The other life, well, it is a bit darker. Slightly skewed, off-balance and head spinning. Scarier, and filled with worries and anxities. More uncertainties, less control. But still awash with love and hope and hope and love.
In this life, wish for so so much.

My 23 year old son was just diagnosed as being epileptic.
He is a typical 23 year old (invincible, happy-go-lucky, live for the moment, no rules, just do it kinda guy).
He lives over 2,000 miles away.
I worry.
A lot.
Even more than I did "before".

My wish is that a sense of calm, faith and trust would spring into my life...AND his.
I wish that the hot heavy burn of fear in my heart would be replaced by a trust and knowing
that all will be well.
I wish that HE will be well.


Todays 52 Photos Project prompt is:
"I LOVE IT!"
Trevor enjoying his
"I  just got released from the hospital, so I get to use one of these!" status
(after his first seizure)
 I love my son's spirit.
His goofiness, his devil-may-care attitude, his you-are-too-much sense of humor.
His witty, wise, why not way of thinking.
Even though it also often causes me exasperation, concern and worry...
I have always loved it.
And even admired, encouraged and envied it.
But mostly,
I love it.

Happy Me-Laurie Z
