I began writing, as a way to focus on the good and joyful things. Some days were easy, many days hard. Writing became easier as life's kinks got worked out. During this, unfortunately, writing became one extra thing to do on a busy day's schedule and I needed to take a break. I was, and still am, thankful for the little things in life. The big things to.
If you are wondering why I chose to write today, there is an overwhelmingly strong feeling of being thankful today. Probably began yesterday and continued into this morning. Many things, that look like this:
- dog finally coming home after a 20 minute run through the woods (and yes, right before we needed to head out)
- younger son, in joyful tears, hugging our wayward dog (I forget how attached he is to Ms. Charlotte)
- friends noticing, I seem to have a happier demeanor
- another good nights sleep (still getting over a slight cold, so sleep is a wonderful thing)
- a rainy morning
- leftover soup for breakfast
- a heating pad for achy muscles
- smelly pup, curled up by my side (I probably would have missed her to, had she not come home yesterday)
- thankful that it is Friday
Anyhoot, here's one last photo, of the wayward pup:
