find the good in everyday

My husband is at my daughter's house working on the roof of her new patio. I have the entire house to myself and it is finally cool this morning. Yay!

You know what? The good in today is the complete and total contentment I feel right now at this very moment. I have a roof over my head, food to eat, family who loves me, no real stress beyond the mundane (I know I should be doing random house hold chores, but...I am the only one it effects if I don't clean the toilets... )

I have things I could worry about-we are still in the midst of a family thing that will have profound effects on my children, my little cute as a button truck is getting older, I am not saving as much as I need to...but for the here and now? I am content. And really that is all that I think a person needs.

I took three hours for myself this morning. I went to Walmart, got a coffee, read a book, browsed at another store and just hung out with myself. I needed some alone time and sadly I don't tend to get much of it at home. I enjoyed every minute of it and don't feel guilty at all!

You always make me smile!

My son hasn't played with his poop today.

Hubby is going away overnight wish it was longer he's so miserable!

Debating on movie and shopping in the city or staying home and enjoying the peace and quiet decisions decisions lol

My Godson (17) is coming from Virginia for a visit and I'm taking him to Florida tomorrow (he has never been)

Go to the movie. Take the shopping money whether it's $50 or $500 and deposit it in a different bank than you use. Go make yourself a bank account somewhere else in town that no one else knows about. You will need the money in your next life. Keep doing that. You might only have that to get by on when the time comes.

I purged my closet and got rid of a bunch of stuff I had been hanging onto for no reason and purposely stored away the empty hangers so I don't feel the need to fill them back up. My closet and the shelves are organized and I'm able to see everything I own at a glance instead of searching and rooting around a messy closet.

Our humidity has broken and it looks like we are back to regular, beautiful weather. 

I haven't been awake long enough to day yet... but yesterday on my drive home a little fluffy white dog (shih tzu maybe??) was riding with the back window partially down. He/she was having a grand time with a little black nose stuck through the crack in the window. that made me smile. We were side by side for several miles in a traffic jam.

When I got in the car to run errands yesterday my glasses steamed up! I think that is a first for me. 

My DD16 and I had a few hours of together time today. We did lunch and a little shopping. We talked about upcoming school (she LOVES school and is excited to go back), cute boys, her friends, her job and her extracurricular sport. It's nice to just get to spend girl time together and to be able to see life from her eyes.

We're going out to dinner in a while...some friends from church are taking us out to pay my husband back for pictures he took of them for their anniversary. So I'm looking forward to a good meal and getting to know them a little better.
