Daily Satisfaction

Today was a good day....and I feel it is really important to take a few minutes to reflect upon that. ... The simple things.
Its funny the small things we take for granted until we are not as able to do them.

The highlight of my early day - mowing the lawn. Yes, I said it - mowing the lawn. Adam watched Rowan while I went outside and mowed the front and the back yard...and really, it didn't really have to be done. The lawn is covered in leaves half a foot deep and there is basically no grass underneath.. so the lawn mower just pushes the leaves around. Let me tell you though, I through my headphones on and cruised around in 5th gear like I was on a racetrack with a great big grin - even bobbing my head to "The Twist" on the radio.  The fact I was "dancing" to that song alone made me laugh out load and I could only imagine how ridiculous I looked..but I simply didn't care - I was having fun.

Then, this evening was the second joyous event of the day. Adam, Rowan and I went over to our friends, Mindy and Adam, house. Mindy and I decorated their house for halloween, then we chatted, ate pizza and watch some SNL and funny you tube videos. It was an overall good time.   I'm happy to have these moments - regardless of if they last 10 minutes or 3 hours because they make me smile. They make me sane and they help me remember that even though I am a mom, I am still me - and that's ok.

With Love,

Stacey
