It’s Monday: Time to count my blessings, tiny and not.
[icon name=”smile-o” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] Hugs from Mr. R1. There’s something special about unrequested, spontaneous hugs. Especially from a 10 year-old boy.
[icon name=”smile-o” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] Requests for home work help from Miss S. It feels so good to be needed.
[icon name=”smile-o” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] A surprise “Christmas present” from CoCo. There’s a long story behind this. One where I was less than a good listener. One that made me laugh until tears flowed freely. One that makes CoCo laugh, too.
[icon name=”smile-o” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] A safe trip to and from a cheerleading competition. Oh, the winds on the freeway this weekend. Seven semi trucks blown off the road. Holy smokes! I never thought to stay home because of wind. I began to wish I did. At the same time, really glad we made it.
[icon name=”smile-o” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] A visit with the sweetest brother-in-law. He may be a saint one day. Maybe he is already.
[icon name=”smile-o” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] A warm day in February. The snow melted or blew away in 24 hours. How wonderful 60°F felt! Spring will be here. This was just a prelude. More snow on Wednesday. Hey, I can take it.
[icon name=”smile-o” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] More work! Yay.
[icon name=”smile-o” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] A cold abated. It hasn’t caught me, just hooked me with a few sniffles and sneezes. I think I can fight it off.
