The joys of "motherhood"
Watching Ember allow his new brother to play with him this morning.
It resembled a mouse chasing a huge cat. :) :) |
What brought me joy today...
Having a lazy Sunday afternoon ~ watching mindless reality tv, snoozing off & on, and pizza! Those kinds of days don't happen very often for us! Waking up this morning from a great night's sleep & feeling completed refreshed & recharged. Puppy sitting at work, the oh so cute, but mean as hell 5 pound Yorkie. The man brought me in a baby gate to put up... so he doesn't bite the ankles of every one that walks in the door! Aww, he looks like he is in jail ;) Plans today with my BFF for lunch at Pei Wei...mmm lettuce wraps! |
Autistic kids hugging me spontaniously, he usually can't stand any form of body contact.
|
I am filled with gratitude and joy because I am still among the living:
I am humbled by that fact alone, as well. |
Finding out that my grandfather received two service medals while serving in the Navy during WWII and I can still reorder them from the US government.
Having fun creating my family tree on Ancestry.com and knowing that one day, this information will be passed onto my two nieces and two nephews. |
seeing all my pots bursting with seedlings...
|
Knowing and feeling how much I love and how much I am loved, Truly and unconditionally loved, Loved for Me, Loved because love is right. Knowing that we belong together, Knowing how right we are, Knowing we love each other. Just knowing, And being safe in that knowledge. Knowing how lucky I am, How lucky we are. :stillheart: :bunchflowers: :love1: |

A unexpected email from Bolivia. :happyjump:
As usual spilling over from gratitude after reading Why We Were Chosen, and those huge shoes that came before me and tramped a path and shared it, so I wouldn't have to retread it. The meeting after the meeting. |

My little rescue dog going to the vet and getting a pretty decent bill of health. He has kennel cough and is now on antibiotics. And while he tested pos for heart worm,dogs who had have it and been treated for it, test pos. The vet suspects this is true for him since his heart is healthy and strong, he has energy out the wazzzoooo and is in general good health! Yay for Old Gus. Now after 4 days on the antibiotics, he can get groomed and join us on the main floor with me and Story and if he gets along with Story, we will become his forever home. If he doesnt, then I will find him a perfect forever home..
such joy today in knowing I didnt have to put him down ...which is what I was worried about... oh..he only weighs 55 lbs. Vet said he should go 90 to 100 lbs! |
Glancing over on the end table and seeing the two lil bottles of hand picked wild flowers... Sigh.. just melts my heart..
|
A couple of strong voices in the din.

-
Knowing that I am off tomorrow and I get to meet my brothers new puppy.
|
Learning that my brother's tour in Europe is finally coming to an end. Even better, he's looking at the potential of being stationed at Ft Campbell, which is definitely close enough for visits!!! YAY!!!!!!
|
James did.
Welcome home! Where you been all day?! Look! Look I have a thing you can throw! Look. At. It!!!

Girlfriends.
I. Have. Amazing. Girlfriends. I am surrounded and embraced by amazing girlfriends who get me, who have my back, who make me think, who make me laugh, who cry with me. I. Have. Amazing. Girlfriends. And. I. Am. SO. Lucky. |
Seeing her wonderful smile as she opened her presents and wore her presents. Seeing her happy brings Me so much joy, I love her with all My heart. You are My joy babygirl, You are My happy thought, My love, Mine! :stillheart: :bunchflowers: :love1: |
Today was surprise inspection day. A day that my managers dread months in advance and are always a teensy bit on edge because...hello...it's a SURPRISE as to when the inspector will show.
Also, they don't announce it immediately. It's like a secret shopper deal. They come, they check in, they get the scoop on the property and in the morning, they pounce. Quality control with a kick, basically. We passed but that's not the fabulous, joy-inducing part. I....*me*....I got singled out for being...and I quote...."definitely one of the top ten friendly desk clerks I've ever met and I worked for 10 years at luxury hotels and spas and now spend about 20 nights a month in hotels doing this"....in case no one else was doing the math, that's a LOT of fuckin' people, ya'll. :blink: And I'm in the top 10. :cheer: It's the BEST way (short of receiving a raise, which won't happen, but is nice to daydream about) to end my Friday. I am now officially ready for my weekend. After the morning I've had, this is just what I needed. |
Joy has come in the form of admiring the bouquet of wildflowers I picked yesterday afternoon.
On a grey morning, it is wonderful to have my very own vase of sunshine on the table before me. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GjLjn_Aur7...ja+daisies.jpg |
The first joy of every day is..
The coffee being made, my cup and coffee fixings sitting in front of the coffee maker just waiting for me... It's the lil things that she does knowing that I love, but probably wouldn't do them for myself that bring such joy... random, who probably would be drinking instant right now, if she didn't make that first pot.. |
Today is my beautiful wife's 50th birthday. I was lucky to catch her before she went to sleep this morning and kiss her sweet face. I love you GG, you have brought more joy and love in my life these past ten years than I could have ever thought possible.:surprisebday:

What brought me joy this morning...
Waking up to the gentle sound of the rain on our metal roof. The best peanut butter & strawberry jelly sandwich EVER for breakfast. |
My little garden, producing away! After last year's major disappointment, this year is making up for it!!!!!!

Meeting and playing with this little cutie pie.

Unrolling and trimming our new 4" memory foam mattress topper (bought a king, trimmed to fit our queen bed *perfectly* and turned the 'trim' into four memory foam pillows.
