It's such a beautiful day and my spirits are high.  The house is mostly clean with a few minor things here and there for me to do, the sun is shining, I have three loads of laundry in the washer, and it's clean sheet day.  I'm planning meals, writing emails, and in general feeling on top of the world.  I am also couting down the days until I board ( Read more... )

Today has the beginnings of a glorious day.  A slow morning with my family.  Coffee and a wonderful slice of still warm coffee cake a friend brought over.  The sun is shining.  The Munchkin is adorable.  I have plans to ride my bike to the grocery store for the party fixings I need.  Presents for tonight are wrapped and under the tree.  Rayn is ( Read more... )

Today is a glorious day. I have tons to do today, but the tide seems to have turned and I am happy. I still need a break, but at least I reached the tipping point and plummeted into happy. Yesterday I made my car legal, today I have done five loads of laundry and the dishes. On to packing and shopping for food. Before I know it tomorrow will ( Read more... )

My heart is so full tonight. What a great life I have. As soon as Munchkin is healthy life will be perfect again.

Today is what I would call a glorious day. I love the pristine look of fresh snow. Especially with the sun shining off of it. I love the feel of the crisp air on my cheeks. In a little bit Rayn and I are going to go outside and attempt building his first snowman. We shall see how it goes. I'm so glad to be alive today. Yesterday Rayn had a ( Read more... )

Yesterday Alli and I bonded over a mutual aggression towards a man who wouldn't shut up, wouldn't stop whining, and kept calling his wife "dear heart". We picked so many farm fresh veggies that I am up to my ears in freezing and preparing veggie meals that my family will eat. I loved the experience and couldn't have spent my $10 better. Although ( Read more... )

I finally got it back. I don't know where it had gone, but it was missing and this week when I was at a low I found it again, my spark, my deep love of life, my appreciation of beauty, and my pure unadulterated joy in life. I danced outside in the rain, in the dark, under a street lamp, in the house with my ipod singing loudly and possibly offkey ( Read more... )

If it weren't for the fact that it is so damn beautiful at night, and that I crave this peaceful sleeping of the world, I would hate being awake right now. But I do love the peace, and I love the sound of the wind in the trees and the feeling that humans are asleep and the earth is awake. This is my time.

Sometimes it's hard to just let go of control and swim in my emotions. Perhaps yesterday would have been easier if I hadn't been fighting my emotions so vehemently. Anger, disappointment, jealousy, frustration, wouldn't these emotions all be easier for me to handle if I just admitted them, danced with them, and then let them go? Despite my ( Read more... )

Playing in the rain on Friday. All three of us holding hands and splashing in puddles. Giggles of delight as the rain fell in our faces and puddle water splashed up our legs. Pointing out the rainbows to Rayn, telling him he was named after the rain and feeling like he really understood. Sitting on the couch wrapped up in towels and blankets ( Read more... )
