I must admit that I am struggling with this post today.
I am having a hard time focusing on things that bring me joy. Instead my mind is constantly frustrated with this no-end-in-sight heat wave and drought, the talk of rolling "brown-outs" (aka planned blackouts) to deal with the overload on the electricity grid, Little B's ongoing sleep strike and early appearance of the terrible twos, my crickety, sore shoulders from sleeping in a bed that is not mine and a few other private family things.
All in all, I am cranky.
But I think that when life gets like this, it is even more important to focus on the positive, even though it may be harder to find. So here goes nothing!
I am loving...
:: Rotisserie chicken from the store - the perfect convenience food to feed the entire family without turning on the oven. Amen!
:: The latest Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood book, Dead Reckoning
. Nothing like trashy vampire fiction set in hot Louisiana to make this girl smile.
:: It is good to be home. We were in New Braunfels at my parents house for a full week. And while it was wonderful spending most of our time in a pool that has the most breathtaking view of the Texas Hill Country, I am very happy to be home, sleeping in my own bed and getting back to a routine of sorts.
:: Book club is tonight. We are talking about the book, Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption
. Wine, good company, intelligent adult conversation - yes, please!
:: My gang of girls is coming in town tomorrow to celebrate 2 birthdays. We are all so tired we will probably just end up on someone's couch drinking wine... and that sounds like heaven. This group of girls can cheer me up like nothing else. This photo is missing a few faces from the gang. I will have to work on remedying that this weekend.
:: My sweet husband who gets me. He knows, often before I do, when I have reached my limit and is always there to step in and take over so that I can catch my breath.
I am all about sharing in each others happiness. I think happiness can be contagious. So spread the happiness virus and tell me what is making you happy this week.
