So another week and so many not posting. Busy, I understand, I'm busy. Feel like there's nothing special happening, I understand, every day I clean and work until I'm exhausted. But I'm going to take a minute. I thought I would try to post photos this week since I"m here in Indiana with George.
Moments Matter - Yes, we want to achieve big things and dream big. I love sunsets and the end of a day with all it's magnificence. Often Dad will call me and tell me to walk outside. I'm so grateful he'll call. I'm even more grateful that he notices. The Beauty, The Moment.
Today I worked hard - went on a drive with George and Jamie, Target, Sam's Club, Michael's, the grocery store. We unpacked the dining room and finished the kitchen. I did four loads of laundry and made four loaves of chocolate chip banana bread (for neighbors and Jamie's doctors that have been so nice). But I looked out her kitchen window just as the sun was setting. She has two large oak trees that grow together and look like one tree. It's beautiful. There's still a few leaves on and many leaves all over the grass. If I look to the right I can see the sunset. It wasn't anything memorable, but it was precious. It felt good. I thought "I'm glad that Jamie can look out her kitchen window and see the sunset." It's a little thing.
As we were driving to a little town near by, Nashville, I did see something that was magnificent. It was a country road. It was a windy day, but not gusty. The leaves were falling like a soft snowfall. As we drove around a turn there was a wave of leaves that covered the whole road, rolling towards us. It moved and swirled like it had a life of its own. I wish I had been able to video it, but it was gone in a moment. It was a little thing.
I pick up George often just as he is waking up and letting us know that he needs us (well most often he needs his Mommy). As I pick him up he brings his elbows up by his face and arches his back, stretching. It's so cute and he's so into it, it almosts makes me sigh and stretch. I want to just hold him and squeeze him and love him. It's a little thing.
I don't know what tomorrow will bring. It's suppose to rain and get colder. There will be more work. Jamie has her Spanish class a
