taking a cue from SouleMama, boiling down the day to ten good things.
**
it's not too hard to do
with a life like this
**
~a small-bodied, big-voiced singer serving as my alarm clock {even though it was 5am}
~the ecstatic smile and wave through the bus window {i don't embarrass her --yet}
~an hour of luxury reading while the littles played intently {how i devour you, hunger games}
~new! compression! stockings! in! the! mail! {oh, the unsung joys of pregnancy}
~a clean bedspread drying in the sun {can't wait to crawl in}
~eating the cake she made {and the joy on her face as i took "bites" of sand water and rocks}
~the hello hug at preschool pickup {still so short, she squeezes my leg, constrictor style}
~driving through falling leaves {they'll fly right off the car, mama}
~dinner i didn't have to make {dishes i didn't have to do}
~earning money in my pajamas {snuggled under the afghan my grandma made}
**
and you? what was good about today?
