Tulips are forevermore my first love.
After we dropped David off on the bus today, we went to visit my friend Nicholas. The plan was to walk his dog but I was tired and Nathaniel is still sick-ish so I asked if we could just hang out instead. It was a great way to start my day. Then we rushed home to let the cleaning lady in and Nathaniel loved having them here and showed off my wearing his hat.
And taking it off and wearing it again and taking it off again. About twenty times or so.
After they left, he took his nap and I worked and walked and worked more. We are a delicious lunch of sole fish, heirloom tomatoes and he even had some eggs. I went back to work and he just walked around, trying to decide what to get into next. Then he put on the headphones and walked around some.
And then grabbed my pedometer (which is not working at all and randomly making a LOT of sounds) and played with it some.
After we picked up his brother, we gave him the toy Nicholas gifted me this morning. David was a fan and played quietly with it for an hour.
When I asked for a smile, this is what I got.
Oh well.
All in all, much better day than usual. Mostly cause I kept my cool for most of it. I didn’t get to do a layout today and I have to rush to book club in a bit but I might finish a small project before then if I am lucky. If not, there’s tomorrow. Working on being less in a hurry and more peaceful. Peace peace peace. It always comes down to that for me. And being content. so much better than happy as Tara Whitney recently pointed out. I love being content.
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful to have spent some time with my friend Nicholas and I get to see him tonight, too.
2. I am grateful that the house is all clean and tidy. Nothing like this great smell of clean.
3. I am thankful that the last of my December Daily items have arrived and I cannot wait to sit down and put my album together.
Three Things David’s Grateful For:
1. playing with Nicholas’ toy
2. getting a silly band from a friend at school
3. watching a little sprout
your journal is amazing. love it. glad you had a good day. hope everyone is well soon.
Ha! Ha! Maybe that’s why your pedometer isn’t working – Nathaniel may have gotten to it when you weren’t looking! Hope you are all on the mend now.
no no this pedometer talks nonstop. when i am sitting and move on the couch it thinks I walked. It’s totally stupid!!
I find your blog and your creations very inspirational so I’ve left you an award for you to grab 🙂
that is so so so kind of you, thank you so much!!
