It's funny how a day, an instant, a minute, or a glimpse can make you gain sight. I figure we all have many of these "ah-ha" moments. I had one this week. It put things into perspective, reminded me of what I have and what I want. Just a reminder. I have been appreciating the smallest things the last few days. At this very moment I am loving the way the breeze is coming through the open windows, the sound of the washer cleaning the first of many loads of laundry mixed with the squeak of Jozy's toy, smell of celery on my hands from dicing veggies for chicken salad. All tiny things that I tend to fail to notice. Despite the ever present smile on my face, I feel like sometimes I let myself forget how much good is all around me. As this next week begins, I hope I remember to focus on the good more. There is plenty of it to take in.
Ok, off my soapbox. It's Sunday afternoon. I have spent my day mostly relaxing. Jeremiah is busy working on another one of his projects. I really am trying to get motivated to finish up house chores, but I am failing miserably. I still have plenty of time. (Pause to put towels in the dryer.) I found out on October 29th we will be attending an amazing Halloween party. Coincidentally, the same party we met at one year ago to the day. I have been trying to plan the perfect costume. I believe it shall involve my wedding dress. My hubbie loves the idea of ripping it to shreds and being a "zombie bride" or something like it. I completely adore costume parties! Any excuse to get made up and play another character, if only for an evening. I can't wait! Maybe I will post a photo. :)
Now I will return to my real-life character.... The wife that makes the house shiny and clean. Here's to another week.
