1. I have noticed lately that I miss a lot of action on my phone. Since I don't look at it constantly, sometimes I forget that it even exists. Sadly, I miss Ian's calls. He always leaves the nicest voicemails like, "Hey Mom. You never answer my calls but I want you to know you are beautiful and I love you more than life itself." I usually listen to it while climbing into bed and then go to sleep feeling like a great big heal for missing his call and also thanking God for raising such a great son! I also have missed FaceTime calls from Season, and texts from Asa needing a ride home from work among other things. I do feel pretty good about not being consumed with those silly games and watching Facebook like a hawk. There IS more to life than those things. Who knew?? I am taking a meditation class on my Happier app. Do you meditate?? It's pretty fantastic.
2. I am making a To-Do list this morning......and a grocery list! The only way I can get Sam up in the morning is with a bowl of cereal..... that boy gets breakfast in bed every day during the week. We were out of cereal this morning except for a stale bag of crumbs I found tucked in the back of the cabinet. I've been a little off kilter for the past couple weeks so I have not made any lists. The one I am making today is getting pretty long!! I think I must thrive in chaos because the longer it gets, the more excited I am becoming! I guess I like organized Chaos. I'm pretty giddy over this list.
3. I have been containing myself. It's not fun. This morning, as I was hurrying the boys along, I blurted out my silly thoughts and laughed at myself. I got Asa to laughing and it was one of the most enjoyable mornings I've had in a long time. I know my boys aren't on the same wavelength as me but I am on a wavelength that is enjoyable to me. I must seize that.....or lose myself,,,,,even if I annoy the crap out of every tired cranky soul that I live with. I'm funner that way. Life is funner that way. It makes me happy. I'm thankful for my sense of humor. If you aren't laughing at the mundane, you are missing out!! HeeHee!
4. You know what? I need to take that damn computer class. I'm pretty sure what I want is not a 9-5 job. I am inspired that cousin Ronnie took her whole company ROWE.....check it out here . That website says: " In a ROWE, you control when, where, and how long you work. As long as you meet your objectives, the way you spend your time is entirely up to you." How awesome is that? That is what I need.....if I only had an objective to meet. I'm gonna find a worthy objective to get paid for. Just watch me. I think I need better computer skills though. I just added that to my list. :) Ideas on that?
5. It is a beautiful day! It just is. Hope can brighten any day. Faith can anchor the soul. And being full of LOVE can make your cup runneth over with gratitude and acceptance and bliss. Those things bring peace.....which is lovely....even on a cloudy day.
Peace and Love to you!!
