Daily blessings

As each day comes to a close I try to take time to reflect on the events of the day. Some nights I find mind self so emotionally and physically drained that simply thinking is difficult, and others I would rather skip the reflecting as the day was unpleasant and I feel better just not thinking about it anymore. Then I have days like today where I can sit back and wrap myself in the bliss of feeling blessed and happy after such a good day.

I was able to spend two whole hours today with one of my dearest friends and we were able to just talk and laugh and take a nice walk together, and for the first time since we met one year and two months ago we didn't have to do kid crowd control while we visited. It was wonderful! The rest of the day was spent with my family and the kids were all in good moods for once! Scott worked hard this afternoon and into the evening to build a new sandbox for the kids, which they are thoroughly excited about. After a quick exploration with the new sandbox I got the kids and I bathed, and then we snuggled into Regan's bed while Regan read us some bedtime stories. And now I am relaxing and I am pain free for now, and I feel ready to start the week. :-)
