Here's to feeling great. What a wonderful week I had. Never take a day for granted that you feel good. When you wake in the morning, and you feel alive, you are blessed. Dance twice this week, and it felt so good to dance. I got so caught up in it that I flick kicked too hard and aggravated my right knee that I hurt back in February. So I won't make it to dance today, it's okay, because I've got a lot to do today. Sarah arrives in the morning and I have to ready her room, get her Birthday present, clean the house, finish shopping for our early Thanksgiving Dinner tomorrow night, start prepping the dinner, make dinner for friends who are coming for dinner tonight, etc, etc, etc...
I am taking full advantage of my energy this week.
Thankful. that's what I am. And it comes at the right time. Thanksgiving. I have so much to be thankful for. My life, first and foremost. My husband is home, my son is an honor student, my daughter is on a hit series, and will be home for Thanksgiving and her birthday, my beautiful wonderful friends all over this country, my faith, my mom, my family, my in-laws, my cats, my awesome team of medical professionals, and the fact that I wake every morning to the most spectacular sunrises, and go to bed to the most incredible sunsets. Life is good. Poison is turned to medicine. Benefits are plenty. Negatives are rejected.
So I go to my day with as much energy as I have and grateful for it. A nap is on my to do list today so I make it through dinner. My excitement at my daughter arriving in the morning is a powerful drug, and it is hard to contain my tears of joy at the thought of hugging her tight to me; I miss her so much.
Be Thankful for the little things. I know I say the little things all the time, but it truly is the Little Things that matter. Big things are fine, but without the Little Things, life is empty. Find the joy in pushing your little one on a swing in the park, it will soon be a fading memory. Find bliss in the small hand that reaches up and strokes your face as your little one drifts off to sleep, that hand will soon be holding an IPhone 3,000 miles away from you and you won't get to feel that brush against your cheek. Smile when your son suddenly and without warning jumps on you and snuggles up to you, that moment is gone too soon. A smile from a stranger as you hold a door for them, say thank you to your City Bus Driver when you get off the bus at your stop, it means something to them. Just think how happy he/she would feel if even a third of the riders said thank you, and meant it.
Remember to tell your parents that you love them, for they are gone in a heartbeat, and then it's too late. Hug your husband or wife and let the petty fall to the ground, and laugh to yourself when they do something that annoys you. You knew they were like that when you married them, so what did you expect? Love life for all it's worth.
Nite!
Love and Light!
