Oh boy, this week went by FAST! I have no idea where the time went. I'm happy that the weekend is here, but I feel out of sorts, like I'm missing something. Weird. Here I am trying to slow down, take it all in, and enjoy the moment while time is flying by faster than I can comprehend. Really, I feel like I lost a day somewhere.
Oh well, as I reflect back on the past week, I can honestly say that it was a good week. Perhaps that's why it went by so fast - it was so full of good stuff. I think the most profound thing to happen this week was my decision to play. This has affected me more than I could imagine. Funny how a change in attitude can make such a difference. I am embracing this!
This week, I am grateful for:
- watercolor paints! I had no idea that I could love playing with them so much. Just mixing the colors around gives me such pleasure. (the painting above is my echo for today. I decided to add the words digitally so that I wouldn't mess it up. I like this one a lot, I think because I let my guard down and just played with it and accepted it, imperfections and all)
- almost finishing my chickami - hopefully by tonight it'll be done
- an evening to myself to run errands, knit in a coffee shop, and have dinner with friends
- my MIL, who helped out tremendously around the house this week
- Matt, for giving up his volleyball night so that I could have a night of my own
- my three little monkeys, who were full of love and hugs this week
- a working AC (knock on wood)
- yummy Mexican food!!
- watching my kids immerse themselves in make believe
This weekend I look forward to relaxing, catching up on some sleep, putting in our fall garden, and PLAYING!! Happy weekend, friends - have a good one!
