My Life, Full Circle

Today I sent my firstborn to Kindergarten. She is attending the same Catholic elementary school I started at over 30 yrs ago. I have often heard the phrase, "my life has come full circle," but I never understood the power of it until today.
Before I even had children, I knew I wanted to them to attend my elementary school should I remain in the area I grew up. Well, years later, here I am in the same area. Can't seem to escape now matter how hard I try! I started volunteering at the school when I found out I was pregnant. Fast forward 5 yrs and here we are....I took Olivia to my parents this morning to take pictures on the same step i took all my first day pictures. It took all I had to not break down and cry. I never thought in all of my crazy wild years of adolescence, teenage and college, that I would ever have such a blessed life. I have beautiful children and an incredible husband.
I wish sometimes that it didn't take these little life moments for me to realize how much I really do have in my life.
