Bliss. Second only to Serendipity, Bliss is one of my favorite words. For me, Bliss is waking up to my husband of 2 years. In the home that we have made together with our three children, still sound asleep down the hall. Bliss is every kiss my husband gives me. Every smile I see on my children's face. It's seeing my daughter make the change from girl to woman. It's knowing that I will always hold a special part of my sons hearts.
I find Bliss in making this house we built together into the home we have always dreamt of. There is Bliss in owning my own business and being my own boss. In spending happy lazy hours doing nothing at all with my best friend, my husband. In sharing this journey of life with him and watching our children grow...I am surrounded by bliss.
