Today is my sister's birthday. She wants to spend it at the beach. I haven't been to a beach since I was pregnant with my now 8 1/2 year old son. Of course, the first thing that ran through my mind was, "Yay, beach photos!" and the second was "Oh no, swimming suit!". I then told myself to shut up and enjoy it....I mean, it's the beach!
I'm transforming my unused living room into a place we can create in - I've moved the computer out of my bedroom, and restored my bedroom as MY room. I've also set up a table where the three of us can work on art projects. Matt's taken to it quite quickly, as he's been tracing Pokemon out of his books. I woke up to find this:
How Sweet!
And had a peaceful morning that looked like this:
Just 2 more days until my birthday....
The kids have been discovering the joys of bubble wrap....not the little ones, the BIG ones and they sound like firecrackers. Hmmmm....I like it....safe firecrackers!
On a sad note: A childhood friend's husband passed away suddenly yesterday. My thoughts and prayers are with her, their 1-year old son and their families. I'm still too shook up to observe my dessert tribute that I wrote about here, but if there ever was a time to stop and think about how important it is to enjoy the little things, it's when a young life is cut short.
I wish you a happy, peaceful Saturday! Enjoy all your blessings today, and every day, ok?
You are so right about living life to its fullest!! It's just a shame it takes reminders like your friend's husband passing to poke us!! Thanks for sharing that with us. I guess we all need to hear little reminders at times.
ReplyDeleteLove what you're doing with your creative space! I've got to narrow down what I need to do for Peggy today, whether its expanding creative space, or reclaiming my bedroom as a place of peace!!
Have a peaceful 4th!
Hi, dear ... so sorry about your news of a friends husband passing. I'll keep them in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteI, too, LOVE what you are doing with your space! So great to have a place to create and feel free in.
Hope you are doing well! Thinking of you!
