1. Today. The whole day - start to finish. We worked (cleaned the upstairs, did yard work -all as a family), we played (we are in the middle of a "late over"), we watched TV/movies, we rode our bikes, we read books (we are currently reading Ender's Game out loud to the children), and we have spent the whole day as a family. It has been great. Great weather too!
2. Friends. Tomorrow I get to have a conference call with 3 of my best friends (we have been friends since college). Tonight, a friend dropped off some home made lasagna (she remembered me saying that lasagna was my favorite food, but nobody in my family likes it so I don't get it very often). Monday, a friend helped me make some hats for the our Halloween costumes (she will help me again this coming Monday). Friends are great...and sometimes I am served, sometimes I do the serving (not so much this week...) and sometimes we serve others together.
3. A clean basement. Seriously. My brain feels better. My house feels better. I am happier. I love having a clean, straight, and organized basement....I actually like having my whole house like that, but that takes time!
4. Summer like weather in the fall - how nice is that! I know the winter will come, but I am enjoying every moment of this warmer weather - the sun, the blue skies, the warm temperatures...all of it.
5. My children. Not only did they work hard and play hard today, but they chose to do yard work while playing a "talking" game outside. They love to make up stories - a kind of exaggerated round robin. As my oldest explained to me, "This is a talking game and we didn't want our hands to get bored, so we clipped all the ivy instead." Yes, my yard has been over run with some kind of vine. I am guessing ivy, but don't really know. It is every where and wrapping itself around everything. My children made a huge dent in it...all while playing. So very cool.
Happy Walking!
