...or is that the other way around? Really, it works both ways and that's what today was. A gift, the present, a present, a miracle really. An absolutely perfect spring day, spent outside except for nap time, nap time, kids, perfect kids (read grand!), swings, slides, trains, water, grass, food, friends and dogs. Perfect!
It's remarkable how easy it is to be present in such a present (gift), and yet what stops us from being so present in the "not so perfect" days? For me, it's a switch in that it used to be easier to accept the hard times, feeling that I deserved them, but no more. I also don't believe that I deserve this perfect day, but I'm learning to accept with gratitude.
I'm grateful for Jason back home safe with his family, a purple orchid from my girlies, sunshine, kisses for boo boos, truer than true friendships, activity, a real home, siblings, health, wrestling, poop, forgiveness, learning, and love, mostly love.
That's it, but what else could you possibly need?
Love, elly
