I love today!

I had this recent thought about how I would like to get more excited about the small things.  I've decided that there are so many things around me to get excited about and it will simply make me a happier person.  I was able to get most of my house clean the other day and it felt great!  I've been able to maintain it which made today  a happy day.  Why?  Because instead of cleaning up a huge mess or sitting around convincing myself I'm too tired to clean I got to move on from the kitchen and living room to folding laundry and doing something for me!  I laminated a ton of cute little stories from "The Friend".  --I'm copying my sister Merry who does this and reads the stories to her kids at night.  The idea is to read them to Holland and Brooklyn when they have the attention span for it.-- Anyway, it was fun to do something so simple and productive that I just wanted to do.  I was also able to make lunch & dinner for the family and Holland was a pretty happy kid for most of the day either doing these things with me or playing with friends.  Yay for friends!  On top of all of that, the sun was shinning today!!!
