busy busy day

Wonderfully busy with wonderful boys and other family. It is truly a gift to be able to spend the day with wondering minds free of the learned greed and hypocrisy that a major part of society seems to accept. I started the day with a shake, fed the dogs and let them out and headed to the Slessor's house to go to market. Sammy bear wasn't feeling well so Daniel and I went, got breakfast and visited with an elderly lady who told D that if he got into trouble, then he should get out of trouble! I dropped him back home and headed to the Crowes to pick up their boys. We went to the park, bought milk and took painting supplies over to auntie Paola's new house. Back to grammas for lunch, a nap and hungry hungry hippo. Then back to Marys place for supper and hot tub. Then we bundled up again and headed back to grammas for medicine, pictures, stories, more milkie and bed. I know it's just mundane things that filled the day, but it included the wonder and awe of seeing deer in the backyard eating apples, excitement about Christmas lights and the absolute joy of swimming in a hot tub in the cold wintry air. The laughter and joy overflowing and filling my heart. These things you cannot buy. I am still not hungry but did get my four shakes in today. Tomorrow I am going to make some broccoli soup and see if that appeals to me. In gratitude, elly "Wisdom begins in wonder." Socrates
