Happy Habits...

With my favorite dear ones
and my furry dog son in tow,
my crew headed to one of our favorite Metro Parks.
Wandering the familiar paths,
talking and laughing...
relaxing.
My kids and I spent time together.
The girls and I even amused ourselves
by having our little guy walk the dog.
The expressions on my son's
and my dog's faces were priceless.
We giggled and chuckled
as they ran together
looking like they were up to mischief.
My oldest urged me to do a cartwheel.
I picked a blackberry.
The sun settled.
We came home.
Nothing amazing.
Happy...
calm...
predictable.
Nice words for a peaceful evening.
May you,
Now and Always...
be blessed with simple adventures
that bring you
peace,
joy
and
happy times!

Daydreaming of napping

Sleep tight,

Don't let the bed bugs bite.

If they do,

take your shoe and

squish 'em 'til they're black and blue.

A dear friend taught me the rhyme,

which is a tad different than how I learned it as a child.

Tonight I must confess that I'm not feeling a bit chatty.

I am going to set my cell alarm,

take a blanket

and

go "watch"

a bit of Twilight with my eldest daughter who wants my company.

Because she loves me,

she'll forgive me if I doze off.

I pray that as day turns to night,

you will find rest for your head,

your heart,

your soul.

May you be blessed.

Tonight,

Tomorrow,

Always.

(May you escape those wicked "bugs" as well!)
