#blessed

In the solitude of my recent daily bike ride, I was suddenly overcome with tears.  Simply put, I glanced at my surroundings : a quaint neighborhood near the school, a short distance from the lake, a home with room to grow, and I even considered our upcoming disneyworld trip... and it overwhelmed my heart with gratitude.  In that moment, I realized that the Parry family is privileged enough to be tasting 'The American Dream' and that's when the tears came!  I can't possibly sort through all the feelings I had in that moment but it was a truly humbling experience I hope never to forget.  I love my life!  #blessed
