A Full and Fabulous Day

So what can I say? All my days are full, but today was fabulous because I got to enjoy really nice, relaxed time with three of my four children and there wasn't much bickering. Hardly any at all...

I went shopping with the girls, there wasn't any fighting, reasonable choices, both in style and by cost were made, and I even bought myself a pair of pink shoes at Old Navy. In case you didn't know this or hadn't figured it out, I love hot pink!

I got some really affirming emails regarding the Bible study (stick to what you believe in, be true to your voice, etc.) and had a great day with the girls.

Then I had a great evening visit with Matt. He seems to be over the pain hump with his broken rib. Please continue to support him as you do through your thoughts and prayers. He is going through some inner struggle regarding important decisions regarding his future: relationships, career choice, location etc. knowing the first order of business is to recover from the rib, finish his internship, have wrist surgery and then...the rest. We had a wonderful visit with conversation, thoughts, dreams, desires, etc. and I have a great sense of joy and pride in where he seems to be at at the moment. He is giving very strong consideration to working with Second Nature, the Therapeutic Wilderness program that was transformational for him in 2002. This could very well end up being one of those very cool full circle stories...time will tell.

And then I got great news from my dear, hilarious and exceptionally talented friend Connie today letting me know she had all three of the stories she sent in to a Chicken Soup book accepted. Way to go Connie! We want to write a book together. Humor, of course and for moms and then we figure we can go on the Connie and Kathy travelling road show...dreams are always worth having.

A great day of simple pleasures. Make sure you take time for those in your own life.

Peace.
