Practicing contentment by remembering the graces of the week. (Particular points of thankfullness are bolded.) Well, I'm back on track: posting the Sunday Sunshine on Sunday! I had some time to get myself organized for the new year this past week while visiting with family. We and a wonderfully relaxing time watching my parents love on and enjoy GBaby, playing cards, sharing time and laughing until I couldn't breath. All marks of a great week! As a bonus, GBaby and I both kicked our colds while we were away, so we all came home healthy again!
We were blessed with a date night from my parents for our anniversary. We happily let them babysit while we went out and enjoyed an evening out of fine food and a non-infant centered meal. As a bonus, GBaby was even asleep when we got home!
I got home and GBaby amused herself while I unpacked, baked and settled back in to my household chores. I love to play with my little girl, but self-entertainment is priceless at times!
I was particularly psyched with a couple of gifts that came my way over the last couple of weeks. One was a new hairdryer. The on/off switch on my old one fritzed out and I hadn't replaced it yet. Now it can go away and be replaced by the new cord-keeper, sleek, high power, dry-my-mane of hair in minutes hair dryer! The other is the pasta press plates for my Mama Mixer. I can't wait to make homemade lasagna and spaghetti noodles! The third favorite gift is one that I purchased for HandyMan and myself that will include a night away next summer. It will be a great retreat for us that I am already looking forward too!
So many blessings to kick off 2010. Look around, find the small things and focus on the best in your world this year!
Happy New Year!
