1 - Snow...yes, it is cold & wet. yes, it is a pain to shovel. yes, it is sometimes even hard (& dangerous) to drive in/on. Yet, there is something magical about a landscape covered with newly fallen snow. We recently had a snow storm & the trees looked as if they had grown white leaves...it was so beautiful. When we drove to a cub scout activity the other night, the town still awashed in fresh snow looked like Normal Rockwell scene....amazing.
Here is my humble attempt at capturing it:
2 - Walking with friends. I love walking with my children, but it is equally wonderful walking with friends. It actually makes for a good mix throughout the week and I find myself not getting bored or frustrated.
3 - Discovering friends with similar interests! This past week I have talked about my little adventure into learning about myself and choosing to do more with my personal style. I discovered recently that a friend from church underwent a similar journey last year and has offered to help/support me during my journey.
4 - Library reading day. I love this day! The children and I spend a couple of hours reading books. What is even more amazing (and I am so happy about) is that my son is the one who requests this day the most. He may not be reading very much yet, but he loves the library, finding books to read/look at and our library reading days. It is one of the best days out of the week.
5 - The local dry cleaners remembering my name. I know that may seem silly, but it really pleases me that I am remembered. I sometimes feel that I am a very good wall flower & somewhat forgettable - probably my insecurities speaking more than anything....so when a place of business remembers me, it always makes my day.
It's funny how you say you love walking with friends/kids. I love working out alone. A friend asked to go running with me the other day and we did, but I would have preferred to listen to my story alone. Sometimes I want/need a friend to walk with, though. . .
