Gimme A Break

Sorry for the long hiatus, but I needed to take a little time off.

I started a new post, which I hoped to have done today.

It's all about the glory of slowing down.

But. I guess I was going a little too slow because I didn't finish it.

Pat and I are heading to Mexico tomorrow for a REAL break, and I'll be back to blogging upon my return.

Until then...

3/21: World Down Syndrome Day

Today is World Down Syndrome Day, where we celebrate all of the wonderful people in the world who have three copies of the 21st chromosome.

Down syndrome has changed my life in more ways that I could ever imagine. It has given me strength, inspiration, gratitude, compassion, energy, drive, purpose, understanding, grit, determination, appreciation, and acceptance.

It has given me more love and joy than I ever thought imaginable.

It has given us our beautiful son.

Happy World Down Syndrome Day!!!
