Wow - the best word to describe my last few days is "amazing." In the last 3 days, I've helped my One-and-Only (OAO for short) chop and stack wood; got a newspaper clipping about self-publishing a book sent to me by a man I rather affectionately refer to as my sperm-donor; had lots of snuggle time with the Princess so we can continue reading "Ramona the Pest"; laughed, giggled, and played oodles of catch with the Superhero; received an incredibly accurate spiritual reading from a woman I met through Facebook, got a couple of really long naps in, and got to enjoy an absolutely beautiful spring-like day. It was all so awesome, that it's hard to pick a favorite moment.
I will say, though, that with each event, I learned a little bit more about myself and the people I love. It's what I'm using as the focus of the list of things I'm thankful for today:
1) My marriage and how great of a team we make... especially when I take my guard down and am present in the moment rather than allow my mind to wander into other places
2) The synchronicity of the universe and the souls that live on Earth. I'm often amazed by the people and information that pop into my life exactly when I need them.
3) How pleasant life is when I focus on the positive things (like the princess putting her shoes away without being asked) rather than the negative (like the princess leaving her shoes in the middle of the floor)
4) Peanut butter, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies that made an awesome after dinner treat
5) The smell of spring in January due to a very warm day that allowed me to open a window and get some fresh, warm air into the house.
What are you thankful for today?
