October 10, 2010 – Family Day

“When you look at your life, the greatest happinesses are family happinesses.”

  ~Joyce Brothers

A day spent with family.  Sushi.   Beautiful weather.  A long weekend.  A lazy Sunday.  

My favorite kind of days.

October 8, 2010 – Choices

We went to dinner with friends tonight.  I was feeling crummy.   The kids were waiting for me.  I was feeling uptight.  My husband was getting home from work and getting into the car.  I was cranky.

And then I reminded myself that this was a choice.  A choice within me and that I had the power to direct this evening with my behavior.

……………………………….

We had a beautiful night.  

So often we have choices.  The choices we make do make a difference.

The happiness of an engagement today… moments like these remind me of all the pure goodness left in the world and that which remains within each of us.

October 6, 2010 – Perspective

I was at the gym yesterday.  I drug myself there, lazily forcing myself to get on the treadmill and run.  And then on the elliptical.  After the cardio, I took it further and went over to the area to stretch and work on some yoga.  

There I was, pouring in sweat, so proud of  myself like I’d split the atom or something… like I’d accomplished some great feat, making it to the gym another day. 

I was actually upside down, working on yoga when ‘it’ happened.   Red faced and inverted, sweat dripping up my face, I saw a man headed to the elevator lifting an arm weight.  And then, because of my ‘angle’, I only saw his bottom half as he was getting onto the elevator.  As the doors of the elevator closed in front of him, it was his two prosthetic legs, donned in running shoes that I saw. 

And all of this put my cardio and my headstand and my big deal of attending the gym another day…. into full perspective. 

All I have to do was show up and move each day.  How silly I was to even think there was anything more to it.

October 5, 2010 – 45 Minutes of Music

“Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without.”

~Confucius

My little man and I went to music class today.  We laughed and danced.  We shook eggs, he played the drums.   He sat in my lap and we sang songs together.  We had 45 minutes of just the two of us.

45 of my favorite minutes of the day.
