I swung on a swing today. If you haven't done it lately, I recommend it. I felt like a kid again.

May 28

Not one, but two naps today for me!

May 27

Watching a baby crawl and try to stand up. It wasn't that long ago that my son was doing the same thing, but I had forgotten how adorable it is.

May 26

I had a wonderful date night with my husband tonight.

May 25

My kid behaved at a party tonight!

May 24

Sometimes, all it takes is a simple thank you. I put together a small event today, and it was so nice that every single person who attended told me thank you. I really didn't do much, but the guests got to eat and drink for free and I could tell they really appreciated it.

May 23

I have so many friends that are hurting today.  I received this card from a friend several years ago, and I wanted to share it with those who are struggling tonight.

Life is a journey that sometimes leads us through rough places...
But the walk is so much easier when we travel beside one another.
That way we can reach out and find help when we need someone to lean on.
It doesn't matter whose turn it might be or how much time it will take until the path becomes smooth again.
All that does matter is that we're there for each other and that we'll keep walking side by side
wherever the road may lead us...
And I want you to know I'm at your side right now. - M. E. Miro

I made a decision today.  It wasn't random, really, but it was taking the first step to changing some things in my life.  I want to be able to do things differently in the future, and I think I now can.  So wish me luck!

May 21

I got stuck in traffic today, and it was nice to take a couple extra minutes to just enjoy reflecting.

May 20

The check out girl let my son carry his toy out with him today. He was sil excited!

May 19

Sometimes as a mother you need reassurance that you are doing the right things. I got this today. It was nice.

May 18

I got a flat tire today. The closest store was Wal-Mart. I am not a fan of the store but desperate times called for desperate measures. They were great! I was the only one there, they got me in and out in 20 minutes, they showed me what caused the leak (a razor blade) and did not try to up sell me. They made a not so great experience tolerable.

May 17

I had not one, but two students hold doors for me today.
