September 9, 2011- Ordinary Day

Today I spent the day doing ordinary things.  Nothing fun particularly, but all necessary. 

I cleaned the house, took my car in to get new brakes, dropped off kids, went to the grocery, made dinner, picked kids up, stopped to the pharmacy… on and on and on.

It wasn’t a special day, or even an exciting day.   It was simply ordinary.  Sometimes these ordinary days are just what you need to be thankful for.    Because even though it lacked excitement, it also lacked drama or sadness or distress.

It was a simply ordinary day.   And that is wonderful all in and of itself.

September 8, 2011- Breakfast for Two

Today, I had a breakfast date with one of my favorite people.

The last time we caught up for breakfast, just the two of us, was about 8 years ago.  

It was long overdue.   And just perfect.

Today, I had breakfast with my husband.  

Just the two of us. 
In our kitchen.

With fresh vegetables from our garden.  And visiting quietly over morning coffee.

There were no kids screaming or singing or whining or talking.  

And that wasn’t lonely as much as it was just fine.

Today, in our kitchen, was a breakfast date for two. 

I think we’ll do it again tomorrow…. there’s a lot of morning coffee mornings to make up for after eight years.

September 7, 2011- Judgement

My yoga instructor uses quotes from Wayne Dyer often.

Though there was no time for yoga today, one of my favorite quotes from him is below. 

“When you judge another, you do not define them; rather you define yourself…” 

- Wayne Dyer

Interesting to keep in mind.

September 6, 2011- Preschool

I love it.

I love finding myself again… for just a few moments a day.

I love the children happy and learning and finding their independent selves as well.

Preschool.   Welcome to our world.  Who’d have thought?

September 5, 2011- Safe travels

I’m not a paranoid traveler.  Rather, I’m fairly comfortable.   The girl sitting next to us on a flight today, however, was a little paranoid.   I could tell with her body language.     

While traveling doesn’t bother me or fill me with worry, the day was, in retrospect,  full of prompt, effortless and safe travel.   And there’s nothing wrong with taking a moment to acknowledge and to appreciate  it.

“All you  need is love…. love is all you need.” 

- McCartney & Lennon

Beautiful moments….
