monday sunshine moments...

little things that made me happy today:

~my husband has been sick all weekend...
{which did not make me happy}
we spent a couple of hours in the emergency
ward tonight to make sure he didn't have
meningitis....and he didn't.
this is a good thing.
~the sun broke through the clouds
for at least an hour...maybe two....

~listening to nine's constant chatter
to himself as he plays on the computer
behind me...
~fresh strawberries dipped in
the sugar dish eaten while standing
in the light of the refridgerator...
oh, how i love the textures and the feelings...
every photo draws me in like a story...

sunday sunshine moments...


things that made me happy today...

~pancakes made by S. this morning
with fresh strawberries and salty bacon

~a late afternoon nap by an open window
and then spending an hour reading more
of this book

~kisses on the back of my neck while
doing the dishes

~a little bit of late afternoon sun
unexpected but so appreciated...

~this poem by this cutie...which
makes me think of summer and
sticky sweet sunshine which is what
i wanted today...

reds, yellows and oranges...and moments of sunshine






the sun is not out...
it is too wet to play...
we are stuck in the house
day after day
after day.
{sorry, dr suess...}

i'm tired and cranky
and stressed out...

trying to mow the lawn
in between bursts of rain,
sick of having to cancel photo sessions
because of the weather...
sick of money and demands
and decisions...

so i think
this week i'm going to focus
on the good things...
taking note of the small things
that make me smile,
taking stock of what really matters.

i'm going to look
for my own sunshine moments.
{and if i can't find them,
i'm gonna make them.}

:O)
