Here are four
things that are making me happy right now.
My aerobics class. It’s been years since I’ve been able to go
to an aerobics class on a regular basis. I’ve finally been able to again and
it’s my favorite. It’s certainly one of the silver linings of my kids getting
older (Marlee is a kindergartner now, say WHAT?!). I love working out with
these ladies.
3:05. That time when the big yellow B-U-S pulls up in front of my
house. (Side note: Marlee is learning to spell all sorts of 3 letter words. She
throws it out there all the time. “Did you see the C-A-T?” “M-O-M where’s
D-A-D?” "Is the S-U-N up today?” It makes me smile.) Anyway, B-U-S time is my
favorite part of the day. I love
watching my kids run into the house after a long day at school. I love hearing
their stories from the day, looking through their backpacks and having them
home again. They sorta make my world go ‘round. And they also drive me
crazy…because, well, kids. D-U-H.
My eye covers. I have always had a horrible time falling
asleep at night. And then when we moved into a hotel for 42 days (2 ½ years
ago…I can’t believe it’s already been that long!) I invested in some sweet eye
covers to block out the all night light of city dwelling. I haven’t slept a
night without them since. They don’t cure insomnia, but they definitely reduce
the symptoms. Plus, added bonus, they're sexy. Ha!
My husband. The older we get and the more life we
live, the more and more I realize just how very lucky I am that he chose me to
be his best friend. I’m pretty lucky, and he’s pretty dang amazing!
